Hare vs Kestrel Matte Art Print


Choose Your Print Size

Dancer dancer on the ball who’s the most graceful of them all? Football players vs. Ballet dancers; who wins the battle of athletic skill, and in which animal guise? You decide…

Almost entirely a line drawing, this print lives in crisp white, inky black and soft pencil grey, with one bold petrol-blue circle supplying its only colour – a palette that reads as clean, graphic and quietly mischievous. That restraint makes it easy to place: it looks sharpest on white or off-white walls where the linework does the talking, holds its own against pale grey or greige, and the blue sings against a dusty pink or muted mustard feature wall. Stylists would reach for it in Scandi-minimalist rooms, contemporary eclectic schemes, monochrome modern interiors and industrial lofts where hand-drawn illustration softens exposed brick and steel. Given its subject – a hare and a kestrel caught mid-leap in some unnamed contest – it has an obvious home in spaces about movement and play: a home gym or yoga corner, a hallway or stair wall, a home office that needs a jolt of wit. It belongs to the Dancers collection, a series inviting you to experience the grace and eloquence of whatever is going on here, and it pairs naturally with other prints from the collection for a gallery wall with a shared line and palette. It makes a good gift for runners, dancers, climbers and anyone with a taste for the surreal.

The print is produced with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth museum-grade stock whose soft, glare-free surface lets the fine crosshatching stay crisp under lamps and window light alike. That matte finish frames beautifully either way – a slim modern frame keeps things graphic, while an ornate vintage frame plays up the drawing’s old-print character. At A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) it slots neatly onto a picture shelf or into a gallery-wall cluster; at A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) it becomes a statement piece above a desk, console or bedhead, giving the leaping figures room to move. For a larger wall, this artwork is also available as a 28×40" (70×100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
