Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.

When passing this house in Whitechapel, Chris was captivated by the open yellow shutters and the curtains partly drawn - an invitation to consider the stories held inside the walls. Displacing this house from its terraced row, he imagines a cottage industry in full swing. A hive of activity behind the walls and windows. A historic craft, still loved and pursued in this house with butter-yellow shutters. The cat stealing a moment of quiet in the shadows outside.
