Man Reading a Book with Hares - Edward Penfield Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Behold Penfield's 1895 opus, where queer coding meets American illustration in a sly, visual waltz. This print whispers forbidden tales through a deceptively simple tableau. A dapper gent, swathed in brown and crimson, devours golden pages while two cheeky hares lounge suggestively nearby.
Penfield's revolutionary poster style sings in bold outlines and flat hues, each element a carefully placed innuendo. The stark green backdrop frames this dance of hidden meanings, inviting you to unravel its secrets. Revel in the artist's subversive genius as he slips homoerotic undertones past Victorian censors.
This art print isn't just decoration; it's a conversation starter, a piece of queer history encoded in ink. Hang it proudly and watch as guests puzzle over the subtleties – the man's elaborate footwear, his leaf-like cap, the knowing glances of those furry confidants. Penfield's masterful composition transforms your space into a gallery of visual double entendres, proving that true artistry lies in saying volumes with minimal strokes.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
