Where to start looking
The Market Stall Market Stall "label QS:Len,"The Market Stall " catches people in the middle of doing something. Arthur Melville stages this like a moment caught rather than a pose held — nobody in the picture is looking at the viewer.
The Market Stall Market Stall "label QS:Len,"The Market Stall ". Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the figures are drawn first and the colour put on top, so the bodies keep their weight.

Why paint it by hand
What you are paying for here is drawing. Print it and the figures flatten into shapes; drawn and painted by hand, they keep their weight and their distance from one another.
Every canvas is painted to order, so the quote follows your size, frame and destination rather than a fixed list. Tell us what you need on WhatsApp and we reply with an exact figure, usually within the hour. You are talking to the people who will actually paint it, not a middleman.
Choosing a size
Nothing is pre-made, which means you pick the dimensions. The sizes below cover most requests:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
| 24 × 20 in | 60 × 50 cm | Study, home office, above a desk |
| 20 × 16 in | 50 × 40 cm | Bedroom, hallway, above a console |
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
These are the usual requests, not a limit. Anything in between, or bigger, is just a matter of asking. Framing and freight are separate line items. Customs duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).
Message us the dimensions you have in mind and we will come back with a figure.

In a study or library corner — that is where this one settles. We do not crop to fit a stock size. The canvas is cut to the original's proportions, which matters if the composition is unusually wide or tall.
The practical questions
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time, depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we photograph, pack and send.
Do you work from my own photograph?
Yes, though that is a separate service. This page is for a hand-painted version of {title}; for a photo-to-painting commission, send the image on WhatsApp.
What if my wall is an unusual shape?
That is normal for us. Send the measurements and we will work out a canvas proportion that suits the space.
