About the artwork
Heavy monsoon rain pours from the moss-covered tiled roofs of a traditional Kerala nalukettu, filling the central nadumuttam with splashing water. The warm, flickering light of a brass nilavilakku reflects on the wet, polished red floor, contrasting with the cool grey downpour and the dark, heavy wooden pillars of the surrounding verandah.

The details
Everything about this canvas
What you are buying
- What it is
- An art print on canvas, printed to order from the artwork shown. It is a reproduction, not an original.
- HP Latex inks on 380 GSM canvas, semi-matte, so it does not glare under a downlight.
- Sizes
- 30 × 20 in (76 × 51 cm) · 36 × 24 in (91 × 61 cm) · 48 × 32 in (122 × 81 cm). See them to scale.
- Frames
- Wrapped Canvas · Antique Gold · Matt Black · Natural · Walnut · Rolled Canvas. The floater frame leaves a 6–8 mm gap round the canvas; only the colour changes between the four finishes. Rolled canvas is the same print, unstretched and unframed, shipped in a tube for you to frame locally.
- Construction
- Canvas stretched over a pine stretcher; floater frames in polystyrene moulding. Hanging wire already fitted. No glass: a clear protective overcoat guards the print. Rolled canvas: not stretched, no frame and no hanger.
Measurements, in millimetres
The floater frame holds the canvas from behind, so a narrow shadow runs all the way round. These figures hold for every frame colour.

Questions about this canvas
Is this made by hand?
No, it is a print on canvas: HP Latex inks on 380 GSM canvas, stretched on a pine frame and finished by hand. It reproduces the artwork shown; it is not an original.
Can I hang it the day it arrives?
Yes. A hook is already fitted to the top bar. Nothing to assemble, no hardware to buy: unbox it and hang it on a single nail.
Is the print varnished or coated?
Yes. Every print is sealed with a clear protective overcoat, which does the job a varnish would. It helps the canvas resist scuffs, splashes and fingerprints, lets you wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and helps the colours stay true on your wall.
How do I look after it?
Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth when it needs it; the protective overcoat makes that safe. Keep it out of strong direct sunlight and away from steam, and never use cleaning sprays or solvents.
Does it come behind glass?
No glass. That keeps reflections off the picture and keeps the parcel light and safe to ship. Instead, every print is sealed with a clear protective overcoat that guards it against scuffs, splashes and fingerprints.
Wrapped canvas or floater frame: what changes?
Both use the same canvas on the same pine stretcher. Wrapped: the picture folds round the edges and there is no frame. Floater frame: a moulding holds the canvas from behind with a 6–8 mm shadow gap, so the canvas appears to hover inside it.
Are the frame colours different sizes?
No. Matt Black, Natural, Antique Gold and Walnut share one profile (10 mm face, 6–8 mm gap, 35 mm deep). Only the colour differs.
Will it look exactly like my screen?
Very close, not identical. A screen glows; canvas reflects the light in your room, so colours sit a little deeper under lamplight. We print the same file you see here.
Can I have a size that is not listed?
Yes. Tell us the wall or the size on the custom size page or on WhatsApp and we will send a price.
How long is delivery?
Your canvas is made after you order and delivered in 6 to 7 days, by tracked courier. Delivery is free across India, with a tracking link as soon as it ships.
What happens if it is damaged on the way?
You can cancel at no cost before it ships. If anything is wrong on arrival, send us a photo of the canvas and the box within 7 days of delivery. Details are on the cancellation policy page.
Do prices include GST? Will I get an invoice?
Yes to both. Prices include GST and a GST invoice from Ankit Ahuja, trading as The Craft Collective, comes with every order.
Do you deliver outside India?
Not yet. We deliver within India only, at no charge.
