Small but exact
In a compact format the discipline of the style stands out, since every fraction of an inch is worked. Such a picture belongs close to the eye, in a hallway, a bathroom or a shelf wall. Up close the finest details repay a long look.

Good listings say whether the painting is freehand and what size it is. Using a photo as a reference is common and no flaw. Look for a clean varnish that keeps the sheen even.
