Description
The Roberval is a set of two hand-painted abstract artworks, each in a slim black frame. Broad black bands sweep across an off-white ground, and the paint has real texture: the black areas are raised and grainy, while the pale areas carry fine ridges and creases where the paint has been worked by hand. Each piece is 43cm high, 33cm wide and 3cm deep, a portrait shape that sits comfortably on most walls. The two compositions differ, yet they read as a matched pair when they hang side by side.
Because the palette is strictly black and off-white, the set works with almost any scheme, from pale, pared-back rooms to walls painted in deeper colours. We like them above a sofa, over a bed or along a hallway, where two pieces of this size give a wall a focal point without crowding it. Hang them level with a small gap between the frames for a balanced look, or stagger them, one a little higher than the other, for a looser, gallery-style arrangement. They also suit smaller walls where a single large canvas would feel heavy, such as a landing, a home office or the space beside a window. If you prefer the raised texture of real paint to a flat print, the hand-painted surface is the reason to choose them.
The frames are black plastic, a light material that gives each piece a crisp, even border. The back is MDF, with a metal sawtooth hanger fixed at the top, so a single picture hook or nail is all the wall needs. The teeth of the hanger let you shift a frame left or right until it sits level. This is decor for indoor rooms, so keep it somewhere dry and away from steam. Before you fix anything, mark both hook positions with a pencil and a spirit level, so the pair lines up neatly first time.

Frequently Asked
How big is each piece in the Roberval set?
Each of the two pieces is 43cm high, 33cm wide and 3cm deep, a portrait shape that suits smaller walls as well as larger ones.
Is the artwork printed or painted?
Both pieces are hand-painted, with a raised, grainy texture in the black bands and fine ridges across the off-white areas.
What material are the frames?
The frames are black plastic, giving each piece a slim, crisp border, and the backs are MDF.
How do the pictures hang?
A metal sawtooth hanger sits at the top of the MDF back, so each piece hangs from a single picture hook or nail.
Can I hang the set in a bathroom?
This is indoor decor with no water protection listed, so we suggest a dry room such as a living room, bedroom or hallway rather than a steamy bathroom.
Will the set work in a colourful room?
Yes. Black and off-white sit happily against strong wall colours as well as pale ones, so the pair gives a colourful room a calm, graphic contrast.
