A closer look
The darks are coloured rather than blackened, and that is what keeps them alive.
Whites are tinted, which is why the light looks like light rather than like paper.
The date is uncertain — it is filed simply as by Frederick Goodall.

What a print loses
Landscape is the first thing printing ruins. The press gives you the same green at fifty metres as at five, and the whole point of the picture was that they are not the same green. A painter rebuilds that difference pass by pass, and the depth returns.
We quote per commission rather than from a catalogue, because size, surface and framing move the number more than anything else. Message us on WhatsApp with your wall in mind and we will price it properly. You are buying from the workshop, not a catalogue.
Canvas sizes
The canvas is cut to your wall. For reference, these are the dimensions clients request most:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
| 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 |
Larger canvases are possible, and so is anything in between. Just send the size you want. Frames and delivery are priced once you have chosen them. Any duties or import taxes are payable by the buyer (DAP).
Tell us the size and frame — exact quote back, usually within the hour.

It sits naturally over a sofa or sideboard. The painter works freehand on a blank canvas, so we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit — an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
Before you order
Is it really painted by hand?
Yes. We hand-paint from public-domain source images, do not sell prints, and never claim the original.
Can I change something in the composition?
Often yes — background, cropping, or adapting the proportions to your wall. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly whether it will work.
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.
