An illustrative, engraved linework look gives the face, beard and clothing shading a graphic, ink-drawn effect over flat colour blocking.
Its strong contrast and graphic focus suit an office, reception area, hallway, or a living room where you want a clear focal point.
Bold contrast and a tightly focused portrait create a dramatic, statement-like mood with crisp detail.
The orange and black palette works well with warm neutral walls, natural wood tones and black or charcoal furnishings. Pair with brass or gold accents to echo the bold graphic contrast.
