Sloped Tuscan Street Doorway In Village Of Tuscany | Limited Edition of 10
Arched Brick Door And Window On Sloped Street
Some streets in Tuscany don’t so much run through a village as they quietly lean their way into it. This one curves gently upward underfoot, a narrow path of brick that pulls the eye along the wall until it stops—almost politely—at a heavy wooden door framed by a shallow brick arch. The entire facade feels settled, as though it has grown into the hillside over decades rather than having been placed there. Stucco gives way to exposed stone and timeworn mortar. Iron bars protect a small window set into the masonry beside the entrance, while above it all, faded plaster softens the geometry of the building’s older bones.
There’s a subtle imbalance to the composition that makes it work. The doorway sits slightly off-centre, anchored by that gentle arch, while the window mirrors its shape, offering a glimpse inward through lace curtains and aged wood. A small number plate marks the home as part of a living village rather than a museum piece, but everything else—the uneven textures, the warm tones, the layered construction—speaks of continuity and quiet use. Nothing here is staged. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. It’s simply a place that’s been adapted, repaired, and carried forward across generations.
I photographed this while walking through a Tuscan village during my travels in Italy, moving slowly enough to notice how the street's angle shaped the architecture. Each print is personally signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. It is produced with archival pigment inks on Epson Premium Luster paper to preserve the fine detail and tonal range of the original photograph.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
