An Afternoon in Provence
Details
An Afternoon in Provence is an ode to the art of doing nothing particularly well. A wicker picnic basket spills over with baguettes, a bottle of wine stands uncorked beside two glasses, an open book lies face-down on a striped blanket — and somewhere beyond the lavender fields, a river glints in the afternoon light.
Rendered in the loose, gestural lines of a travel sketch, the composition feels captured rather than composed — the kind of scene you stumble into on a slow summer afternoon in the south of France and spend the rest of your life trying to return to. Every detail is a small pleasure: the red-checked linen, the violet haze of lavender, the suggestion of cheese on a plate.
An ideal print for kitchens, dining rooms, wine cellars, and any space that benefits from a sense of joie de vivre. A perennial favorite as a housewarming, wedding, or hostess gift.
Materials + Craft
Our Prints
Every Norra Collective print is produced on premium museum-quality matte paper selected for its depth, texture, and longevity. The result is a soft, non-reflective surface that allows the artwork to feel calm, refined, and beautifully present in any space.
Printed on 189 g/m² archival paper with a thickness of 10.3 mil (0.26 mm), our prints offer a substantial feel without heaviness. The paper features 94% opacity and 104% ISO brightness, allowing colors and fine details to appear crisp while maintaining a smooth matte finish with no glare.
Our paper is responsibly sourced from Japan, known for producing some of the world’s finest art papers.
Framed Prints
Our framed prints are designed to arrive ready to hang—bringing a gallery-quality presentation directly to your wall.
Each artwork is printed on the same premium matte paper used in our standalone prints, using multicolor water-based inkjet printing for rich tones and exceptional clarity. The print is then carefully mounted in a .75″ Ayous wood frame sourced from renewable forests.
The frame is lightweight yet durable and finished with an Acrylite front protector that preserves the artwork while maintaining optical clarity. Every framed piece arrives with hanging hardware included for effortless installation.
Blank product components are sourced from Japan and the United States.
