Hermine Gallia by Klimt Canvas Print

Hermine Gallia by Klimt Canvas PrintWatch the portrait land, then the soft grey start doing damage. Klimt's 1904 study of Hermine Gallia is all whisper and rustle a pale dress dissolving into a muted grey backdrop, with one quiet pink ribbon at the waist. Hang it on a chalky off white wall in a bedroom, study or hallway and the room turns slower and a touch more grown up. It pairs nicely with linen upholstery, aged brass, oak or walnut timber and a single antique ceramic. Don't crowd it

so the row of houses can run

pink panelled walls behind

and a slightly stiff room starts to feel like somewhere people actually live

or over a small console near the door

Put it up and the room finds a focus

black iron balconies

busy florals or anything too literal about Italy

soft room around it so the holiday feeling can do its work

nothing else competing for the eye

heavy gilded frames

holiday-house calm

with quick ink lines holding it all together
