A charming artwork directly based on a one off 1800s antique pen and ink watercolour, displaying an ostrich running across a dusty landscape with blue skies. The use of muted and semi-transparent washes in the original painting (soft blues, greys and warm earth tones) leaves the texture of the paper visible and the quick, sweeping paint strokes creates a sense of spontaneity and movement helping us imagine the ostrich running at great speed.
The decorative old pink floral border surrounding the Ostrich originates from a pattern originally hand-block printed by Rosie. The pattern was then incorporated as part of the reprint artwork, making sure the preserve the detail of the handcrafted motif, enhancing the overall artwork's charm with the texture and irregularities that come with block printing.
Hand framed with a warm linen mount and a beautiful rustic oak stained pine wood moulding to sit well in many interior spaces.
All our reprint collections are limited in number and originate directly from antiques personally sourced by Petri Prints.
