About the painting
The Runaways is a title full of escape. Vettriano's paintings are crowded with people caught between one life and another: arriving at a hotel, leaving a party, or slipping away together from somewhere they should be. The title gives this image that same sense of a story already under way, and of two people who have chosen each other over everything else.
Its compact size makes it one of the easier Vettriano prints to place, whether as a single piece on a narrow wall or as part of a group with other small-format editions. It is a good choice for a hallway, a landing or a study.

Before you buy
Our complete buying guide covers what to look for, our certificate of authenticity guide explains what should come with every signed print, and our investment guide looks at what actually drives value.
Framing, display and care
This edition is printed on heavyweight museum etching paper, a soft, textured cotton stock chosen because it holds pigment ink with depth and stays stable for generations when it is looked after. If you are framing it yourself, ask your framer for an acid-free mount and backing board and for UV-filtering glazing; conservation or museum glass is worth the extra cost on a signed print. Hang it away from direct sunlight, and avoid bathrooms, kitchens and the wall above a radiator, where heat and damp can cockle the paper over time. When the print arrives, handle it by the edges with clean, dry hands and keep it flat in its packaging until it goes to the framer.
