Dating from the Federal Art Project era between 1935 and 1942, Charles Garjian's 'Decoy (Red-Wing Black Bird)' captures the austere beauty of American folk art with architectural precision. Originally rendered for the Index of American Design, this classical illustration documents a hand-carved wooden decoy, translating its weathered textures and hand-painted details into a striking graphic study. The composition balances historical preservation with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. To honor the integrity of Garjian's original work, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring a sophisticated, museum-grade display.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
