About this model
A framed landscape painting showing a cottage beneath trees under a pale sky, set in a gilded wooden frame. It has the soft colours of a traditional oil painting. The picture is about 2 ft wide and 1.5 ft tall, almost flat.
Hang it in a parlour, a hallway, an inn's dining room or a merchant's office. Paintings make a room feel inhabited and say something about the owner. They are also classic hiding places for wall safes and peepholes, and the scene in the frame can point to a real location the party must find.
Ideas for the table
- The cottage in the painting matches a ruin the party passed on the road, and it holds a buried chest.
- Lifting the painting off its hook reveals a wall safe with a tumbler lock.
- The painted sky darkens over the course of the evening as the curse takes hold.
