Peruvian Racket-Tail by John Gould Canvas Print whimsical pairing drawn with the patient eyeLeave the chalky off white wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This restored John Gould plate brings two Peruvian racket tail hummingbirds, blue berries and pale green foliage to a quiet corner and gives it something to look at. Hang it in a bedroom, study or hallway where people slow down above a low chest, a reading chair or a narrow console. It sits happily next to linen upholstery, oak or walnut timber, brass fittings and a few real plants.
