Small framed tree landscape print on canvas. 19th-century artwork reimagined for cottagecore spaces, rustic gallery walls, and quiet corners.
Summer Shade by Currier and Ives (c.1859) is basically how I do summer. I don’t like the heat, I don’t like the sun (widely known to be the source of said heat), and I believe the ideal warm-weather activity involves a nap, a tree, and maybe a river if it’s close enough that I don’t have to move. The shepherd here gets it. He’s in full retreat from the sun, horizontal under some trees, surrounded by his flock, some random cows, and a dog that’s also clearly off-duty. It’s quiet, serene, and nothing is expected of anyone. If there’s a better way to survive July, I haven’t found it.
This small antique oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame made using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame. All the beauty of an heirloom without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).
Sized in our Small format, this piece fits perfectly on a book shelf, gallery wall, or any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.

This print is currently shown in our small frame, but it's also available in the mini frame. If you'd prefer the mini version, just message me and I’ll make it appear like magic (or at least pretty quickly).
Perfect gift for:
- people who summer from the shade
- anyone who identifies spiritually with a lounging shepherd
- friends who respond “I’m melting” any time you ask how they’re doing in July
- anyone who cancels plans the minute the humidity spikes
- the friend who claims they’re “not built for summer” and you believe them
- people who look at a hammock and think, too much effort

I have never seen such amazing packaging! It was like I was opening a gift to myself. I love the picture and can’t wait to find a special place for it. The whole thing is just exquisite. Even the back is finished off beautifully! I highly recommend buying from this artist!!
