No. 93 - Women in Greenhouse

Antique-style portrait of a Victorian woman, reprinted on canvas and framed in a handmade mini frame. Perfect for lovers of historic art and moody interiors.

The Palmenhaus Schönbrunn by Ludwig Sigmundt (c.1894).
She’s wearing black, a clear sign that she’s not here for light conversation. Deep thinking only. And where better to do that than in a glass palace filled with exotic plants and filtered sunlight? The Palmenhaus Schönbrunn, in Vienna, opened in 1882 and still looks like the perfect place to contemplate existence while surrounded by ferns. If you are looking for moody, intellectual botanist energy, you’ve found it.

This small oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrocal plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers 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.

Perfect for:
- houseplant hoarders with a tragic backstory
- people who read poetry in greenhouses and won’t explain why
- the friend who wears black to brunch and names their ferns
- moody aesthetes who like their blooms with a side of brooding
- anyone who’s ever said “I need to be alone with my thoughts and some philodendron”
