A young hippopotamus peers over an invisible barrier, its head tilted with curious, expressive eyes and textured gray-brown skin rendered in soft watercolor and ink. The composition is intimate and playful, with the hippo occupying the lower half of a cream-white ground, creating a sense of gentle wonder and connection. At home in a nursery, child's bedroom, or playful living space. Printed on glossy aluminum and made to order, ready to hang with the hardware built into the back. Original artwork in a finish that holds its color and resists fading, not a quick print off a shelf.
