Description

Love Cape Town? Then you will adore this cheery colourful art print which features my Happy Houses design, celebrating the vibrant Bo-Kaap area in Cape Town. The design features typical architecture from this area, drawn from Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian styles. Details include pretty flower pots on the brightly painted houses, charming hand painted signs from Rose’s Corner Cafe, and to complete the typically Cape Town feel, I have added aloes and palm trees.

This print makes a cute housewarming present, especially if you have some homesick South African friends, or if, alas, you’re missing Cape Town yourself.

Made from:

  • Giclee reproduction printed on the highest quality 225gsm Somerset Enhanced Velvet fine art paper, made from 100% cotton.
  • The paper has a lovely tactile quality (look at the detail photos) that brings out the inky texture and line work of the original artwork.
  • The giclee archival printing method combined with the acid-free paper guarantees colours will last over 75 years.
  • This is an open edition print, signed and titled by the artist.

Dimensions:

  • Full A4 page size: 21cm x 29.7cm (8.5″ x 11″)
  • Printed area: 18cm x 27cm (7″ x 10.5″)
  • This print is designed to fit a standard A4 window, e.g. it perfectly fits within an IKEA Ribba 30cm x 40cm frame with an inner A4 window.
  • Alternatively you could have your print framed by a local or online framer for a bespoke service.
  • Please note the frame and accessories are not included in the listing.
  • Purchase of artwork does not mean purchase of copyright. All designs are copyright © Ilze van der Poll.

    Beautiful artwork, and it got here very quickly considering it had to go halfway around the world. Thanks!

    I was very happy when I found your creation on Etsy… It brought me back to Cape Town and the Bo-Kaap neighborhood. And I love the print… A piece of South Africa in my home. Thank you very much 🙂

    Lovely colourful picture, excellent quality. It looks fab in a frame and feels like a bit of Cape Town magic in my lounge. I bought the Protea Woman picture too and that one is also really special. I’m saving up for a lamp shade next! Thanks Ilze

    This piece is absolutely gorgeous! It’s vibrant and colourful. As a Capetonian living abroad, it means a lot to have Bo-Kaap on my wall.
