Chamber music with a mountain view.

This classical music poster seats a string quartet on a small curtained stage, with two peaks, dark pines and a winding lake as the scenery behind the players. It is made to order on matte paper, a thoughtful gift for the person who never skips the chamber program.

The design: a classical music poster drawn like an old concert handbill

Four men in dark suits sit on wooden chairs in a shallow arc across a plank stage. The player on the left, with a mustache and a bow tie, holds his instrument at the shoulder with the bow upright. The next has his tucked under the chin, bow arm out, the third cradles his against his chest, and on the right a cellist draws the bow across the strings. A low wooden rail runs behind them.

Rust-orange curtains hang at both sides and gather into swags across the top, with a small floral ornament in each upper corner. Between them, two mountain peaks with shaded slopes rise over dark pine trees, and a pale ribbon of water winds toward the stage under a streaked orange sky. Painted backdrop or open back wall? The picture leaves that to you.

A thin tan double line borders the scene, and above it the design's name, Outdoor Adventure, is set in heavy tan serif capitals with a grainy, stamped texture. Everything sits on a dark forest-green ground in tan, rust-orange and near-black, the three-color look of an engraving or a woodcut-style print from another century.

Who it's for

String players, chamber music subscribers, music teachers, conservatory students and the friend who hums the cello line. It belongs in a music room, a practice corner, a teaching studio, a study or a cabin where the view out the window matches the one behind the players. Give it after a recital, for a graduation, a retirement from the orchestra, a birthday or the holidays.

Quick answers

Is it a travel or camping poster?

No. The heading sounds like the trail, but the picture is a concert: four string players on a stage, with the mountains as the scenery behind them. There are no tents, hikers or gear in it.

Does it name a composer, an ensemble or a concert hall?

It names none of them. You will not find a program, a place or a signature on the sheet, so the concert can be whichever one you remember.

Which size should I pick?

Beside a music stand or on a shelf, 8″×10″ (20.3 × 25.4 cm) or 11″×14″ (27.9 × 35.6 cm). Above a piano or a sofa, 16″×20″ (40.6 × 50.8 cm) or 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm). For a square frame, 14″×14″ (35.6 × 35.6 cm).

What kind of frame goes with it?

Dark-stained wood echoes the stage chairs, and a slim brass frame adds warmth beside wooden instruments. A plain mat gives the scene some breathing room.
