The Story in the Margin
This pen-and-wash drawing is catalogued as School of Nicolas Poussin, meaning it was made not by Poussin himself but by a follower or workshop artist working in his manner. It depicts an idealized Italianate landscape, a genre Poussin helped define during his decades in Rome, arranging a hilltop castle, trees, and a foreground pool of water into the kind of ordered, classically balanced composition his landscape circle became known for. Drawings like this show how widely Poussin's approach to landscape was studied and repeated by students and imitators in seventeenth-century Rome. The sheet is held in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection of Old Master drawings.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

I have mixed feelings about this one. It is thinner than I pictured and still holds its shape fine. Three stars, and no hard feelings.
The sepia came out much duller than the preview suggested. It is fine, and I expected a great deal better.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
Good value for something this size. It was easy to find the right size on the product page, which saved me a return. We keep the porch doors open most of the year and the colors have not shifted. I would recommend it to a friend.
I was expecting good and got great. It is the best forty dollars I have spent on this house. The materials are noticeably better than the last two things I ordered online. Our winters are long here and this has made the room feel a lot less bleak.
