Some artwork makes a room feel like yours the moment it lands. Muse turns Vermeer's girl with a pearl into a quiet, deadpan joke that never gets old.

This palm-sized print plays it completely straight inside a serious matte-black oval frame — which is exactly why it works. Slip it onto a shelf, a ledge or a desk and let it wait quietly for the moment someone notices.

Product Info

Moulded oval frame in matte black with a canvas-texture art panel

Material

13.4 × 10.6 cm (5.25 × 4.16 in) — palm-sized

Sizes

Overview

Its small size is its strength. Muse fits where a normal frame cannot, on a narrow ledge, the corner of a bookcase, a bathroom shelf, next to the kettle or beside a monitor, and gets a second look wherever it goes.

It is a gift for someone with taste and a sense of humour, the one thing on the shelf that visitors pick up and ask about.

Care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth; use a barely damp cloth on the frame if needed and dry it at once. Kept out of long, direct sunlight and away from steam, the colours stay rich for years.

Materials

A matte black oval frame with a rounded, domed old-master profile, holding a crisp canvas-textured art print on a rigid board. The back has a built-in hanging bracket and a fold-out stand. Palm-sized at 13.4 × 10.6 cm and about 108 g, a great deal of character in a very small object.

Check the size twice

It is small enough to hold in one hand, so it goes where art almost never fits, and that is the fun of it. Move it around the house for years and it never looks out of place.

A serious face for a silly joke

A deadpan parody of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, caught in a grimace and pinching her nose. The frame stays serious: a matte black oval with the rounded, domed profile of an old-master portrait. That contrast is the whole idea. Hung properly, it takes people a moment to notice, and then they smile.

Hang it or stand it

It is ready to display out of the box. A moulded bracket on the back takes a picture hook or a single pin, and a fold-out stand lets it sit on any surface. There is nothing to assemble and nothing else to buy; choose a spot and it will earn it.

Genuinely tiny, and I am glad

The size is stated everywhere and I still had to hold it to believe it — it really does fit in one hand. Turned out to be perfect on the little ledge above our kitchen door where nothing else would go.

Nobody notices for about a week

Put it in the downstairs loo among three other small pictures and it took my brother-in-law four visits. That is the whole appeal — the frame is completely serious so from across the room it just looks like a small old portrait. Best five minutes of anyone's day when they finally get close enough.

Good gift, manage expectations on the print

For what it costs it's awesome. Stand on the back works fine on a shelf. I bought a second one for a colleague, love the idea puts a smile on everyone's face.

Frequently asked questions

What are its dimensions?

Palm-sized: 13.4 × 10.6 cm (5.25 × 4.16 in), about one and a half bank cards tall. It is small enough to sit in one hand and to fit where a full-size frame never could.

Can it hang on a wall, or only stand?

Both, with nothing extra to buy. A moulded bracket on the back takes a picture hook or a single pin (at 108 g it hardly needs one), and a fold-out stand lets it sit on a shelf, desk or mantel. Change from one to the other whenever you like.

Is it an actual painting?

It is a crisp print with a real canvas-weave texture on a rigid board, set in a matte black moulded frame: the look of an old-master miniature at a price that makes it an easy, witty gift. From across the room it looks like a tiny oil painting, and the deadpan face does the rest.

What exactly is the picture?

A witty parody of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665, long out of copyright), with the same blue-and-gold headwrap, the same pearl, the same ochre jacket and dark ground, but with the sitter pinching her nose and scowling at whoever stands in front of her. There is one design.

Does it suit a kitchen or bathroom?

Yes, with some care. A bathroom shelf or a kitchen wall is fine for something this size, but keep it out of direct steam and away from splashes near a sink or hob, because water sitting on the edge where the print meets the board causes lifting over time. Keep it out of long, direct sunlight as well, since the warm ochres fade first.

Will mine match the photographs exactly?

The artwork, the frame profile and the dimensions will. It is a printed panel, so the image is the same from piece to piece. Slight variation in how the print sits in the opening of the frame, faint mould lines on the back and small differences in the sheen of the matte black are normal at this price. Our photographs are styled, so judge the size from the palm image and the measurements and not from the room settings.
