Description
Eighteenth Century Gentleman on a Balcony Paint by Numbers Kit
This canvas feels like the cover of a favourite novel. A young gentleman in a tricorn hat, dark gold trimmed coat and frothy lace cravat leans on an ornate iron balcony, gazing out into the night. Behind him, an open door spills warm orange lamplight across his shoulder and the wooden shutters, and beyond the railing the view opens into deep blue evening hills, scattered with the faint lights of a distant town.
The blue and gold contrast is the whole point of this painting, and it is a pleasure to build. The interior glow and the figure’s coat are warm and bright, while the landscape and sky are cool and soft, so every section you complete sharpens the division between inside and out. The wrought iron railing is the most intricate part, fine black scrollwork against the light, and it is well worth taking slowly.
What Is Included in the Kit
- One pre-printed canvas with numbered sections, sized 16×20 inches
- 24 numbered acrylic paint pots with plenty of paint for the sky and hills
- Three professional detail brushes for the railing, lace and coat trim

Romance, Warmth and a View
Painting this scene is a bit like stepping into another century, and the finished canvas carries real atmosphere. It suits a study, library, bedroom, hallway or living room, and it looks beautiful beside dark wood, brass and warm lamplight. A wonderful gift for lovers of historical fiction, period drama and classic illustration.
