Framed canvas portrait of a 19th-century woman in an antique reproduction frame. Ideal for dark academia decor and dramatic gallery walls.
The Crystal Ball by John William Waterhouse (c.1902). She’s stunning, dressed in deep red, and 100% about to cast a spell on you. She might be dangerous, the items on the table are telling us everything we need to know about her. The skull is not a warning, it’s a souvenir. The wand is definitely not decorative. And the book? Probably full of curses with really nice margins. This is a woman who already knows what she’s going to do, but she’s checking the crystal ball anyway, just for the theatrics.
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.
