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 soft, lightweight polyester with hand-sewn edges and made to order. Original artwork at room scale, light enough to hang almost anywhere and move with you.
