The painting itself
The surface is the most interesting thing happening here.
It is painting that admits it is painting, without showing off about it.
Undated, and catalogued simply as a work by Ludwig Deutsch.

Why hand-painting matters here
What you lose in a print is the air. The original puts hazier, cooler paint between you and the horizon; a press prints the haze as a flat wash. Handled by hand the far ground goes back where it belongs.
Because we paint to order, the honest answer is: it depends on size, texture and frame. Send the three on WhatsApp and we will quote properly. No resellers, no drop-shipper. The painter's studio handles your commission from first message to final crate.
Sizing it
You are choosing the canvas, not picking from stock. These are the sizes that come up most often:
| Size (inches) | Size (cm) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 32 × 24 in | 81 × 61 cm | Living room, above a sideboard |
| 30 × 24 in | 76 × 61 cm | Dining room, bedroom feature wall |
Anything outside this table is fine. Give us the measurements and we will work to them. Framing and shipping are quoted separately. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility (DAP).

This one reads well above a console in an entry. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
Questions worth asking
What happens after I message you?
You tell us the painting, size and whether you want a frame. We quote, a painter starts on your canvas, and you get photographs before it ships.
Can I get this in a size that is not listed?
Yes — the listed sizes are the common requests, not a limit. Very wide or unusually tall proportions are routine for us.
Why not just print it?
A print flattens the surface into a poster: the distance collapses and the highlights turn to grey. Paint keeps the depth and the texture the original was built from.
