Dried peppers on an Espelette half-timbered house poster

Espelette poster, peppers drying on a Basque house

On the red balcony of a half-timbered house, a woman hangs long garlands of peppers that end up covering the entire white facade. In front of the house, a cobbled lane climbs between flowering low walls, and green hills roll toward the horizon. This Espelette poster tells the story of pepper drying, an emblematic scene of the Basque village. The drawing, in a horizontal format, relies on 3 colors: pepper red, whitewashed white and the soft green of the meadows. The title “Espelette” highlights the scene.

A spirited poster for the kitchen

With its vivid reds, it adds character to a kitchen, a dining room or a restaurant. Its landscape format sits well above a countertop or a table. It pairs with Basque linen, raw wood, terracotta and jars of spices. Alongside other Basque Country or regional food posters, it makes a gourmet wall. A gift for a pepper lover, a cook, a family from Espelette or friends who spent a weekend there.
