A Mother’s Watch

from £95.00

A Mother’s Watch captures a tender moment between an adult moorhen and its chick, facing one another across shimmering blue and gold water. The scene invites the viewer to imagine a quiet exchange: a call, a warning, a lesson, or simply the watchful presence of a parent guiding its young.

The soft reflections and painterly surface of the water add warmth to the image, while the small dark chick becomes the emotional heart of the photograph. This fine art wildlife print celebrates the gentle bonds found in the natural world — moments of care, protection and connection that often pass unnoticed.

Museum-Grade Papers - Prints Only

Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308gsm)

A 100% cotton rag paper with a smooth, super-matte finish. It enhances soft gradients, subtle tones, and delicate textures, with muted blacks and evenly reproduced colours. The chalky surface gives images a painterly quality and is especially popular among collectors of fine art and photography. Due to its cotton texture, it requires gentle handling at the edges.

Max print width: 1524 mm
Finish: Matte
Tone: Off-white
Texture: Smooth, minimal

Epson Semi-Gloss (260gsm)

A versatile paper that blends photographic sharpness with the elegance of fine art. The semi-gloss surface offers vibrant colour, high contrast, and fine detail, without the heavy shine of traditional photo papers. Its resin-coated surface makes it durable and less prone to marking, while retaining the refined qualities of a giclée print.
