A riddle on the shelf
Small surreal pictures work as quiet conversation partners. They suit a bookcase, a spot beside a bed or a study where you look at them during breaks. A dark frame strengthens the depth.

Studies and small canvases are usual in this price band. Read which support the painting was made on and whether the back is inscribed. A night scene, a room without walls or an animal in an impossible place needs just a handful of square inches to work.
