Reading the canvas
Portrait of a Man of a Man "label QS:Len,"Portrait of a Man " holds one person under steady attention. El Greco is not flattering the sitter so much as registering them — the face is modelled with small, honest decisions rather than ideal features.
Portrait of a Man of a Man "label QS:Len,"Portrait of a Man ". Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the shadow side of the face is mixed from colour rather than grey, which is where most copies go dead.

What makes it hard to copy
A printed face is grey in the shadows, and grey is why printed portraits look dead. Skin in shadow is warm, cool, greenish by turns — a painter mixes it, a press cannot.

| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |

In practice it works best along a stairwell, following the eye upward. Because each canvas is built from scratch, we follow the original's proportions instead of trimming the image to a standard shape. Panoramic and vertical formats are both fine.
What people ask us
What size should I order?
You choose the size. Each canvas is cut to your measurements rather than pulled from stock, so tell us the wall dimensions and we will tell you what proportion works.
Is there a rush option?
It depends on the canvas and what else is in the studio. Ask on WhatsApp with your size and we will tell you straight what is possible.
What if it does not look right to me?
We send photographs of the actual painting for your approval before anything ships. That is the moment to tell us what to adjust.
