A closer look
You notice the brushwork before you notice the composition.
Thick paint in the light, thin and scrubbed in the dark: a simple rule, executed consistently.
No date is firmly attached to it; it is catalogued under Ludwig Deutsch.

What makes it hard to copy
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.
Rather than publish rates we would rather look at your wall first. Send the size and any frame preference on WhatsApp for a firm quote. You are buying from the workshop, not a catalogue.
Choosing a size
The canvas is cut to your wall. For reference, these are the dimensions clients request most:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 16 × 12 in | 40 × 30 cm | A shelf, a small wall, a gallery group |
| 64 × 48 in | 163 × 122 cm | Villa scale, lobby, hospitality wall |
| 48 × 36 in | 122 × 91 cm | Large living room, stairwell, loft |
| 40 × 30 in | 102 × 76 cm | Living room focal wall, above a sofa |
Every size here is a guide. Tell us what you need and we will build the canvas to suit. 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.
💬 Get a Quote for Morning PrayersWhere this one sits best
It sits naturally on a stairwell wall, where the depth opens the space up. 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.
The practical questions
Will the dark passages look muddy?
That is the main risk in a night painting and the reason it cannot be printed. The painter mixes darks from colour rather than reaching for black, which keeps them transparent instead of dead.
How do I know what size will look right?
Measure the wall and send a photograph. We will say honestly if the canvas you have in mind is too small for the space, which is the most common mistake.
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.
