Wren - Poster in a frame with passe-partout

What do we see in this work of art?

This work of art, printed on a poster with a mount, shows one of our native forest dwellers. The wren is known to us from literature and music. Shakespear already wrote about the lively songbird and the wren was even known to the ancient Greek poets. The colors brown and green predominate in the picture. Thanks to its camouflaged plumage, the wren could almost disappear into the picture if it weren't for these leaves that create a great contrast to it. The colors suggest that we are already in autumn and the forests will transform into a sea of ​​gold and red colors. Our wren is certainly on the way to prepare his nest and be well prepared to survive the winter.

Where can this mural hang?

This mural is particularly suitable in places where people spend a long time, for example in a waiting room or in the living room. The viewer feels transported to our native forests and nature has a calming effect on him.
