Wren and the Nest - Poster in frame

What do we see in this work of art?

This mural, printed on a poster in the frame, shows us a native songbird. The wren is well known in Germany, but it is also resident in large parts of Europe and East Asia. In Germany it is known as a particularly dynamic songbird that builds its nest primarily in the undergrowth of the forest. That is exactly what we can look at in this work. The wren has built its niche near the forest floor, from which another resident looks out curiously. The color green predominates in the image and embodies the soul of the forests in which the wren lives. But here and there bright red berries catch our eye and lead us over white and blue flowers to the main characters of this work. Why not bring this clever and dynamic bird into your home?

Where can this mural hang?

This mural is particularly suitable for friends of our local flora and fauna. It brings the energy of nature close to us and lets us think closer to the forests.
