A hippo with a tennis racket is objectively the most committed athlete in the room. This soft watercolor animals wall art features an elephant, a monkey, and two hippos mid-match on a green grass court, each one holding their racket with the kind of focus that puts most humans to shame.
The palette is gentle and easy, all muted sage greens and soft greys with warm tan tones on the little monkey who looks like he's about to win the point. The isometric view of the court gives the whole scene a storybook quality, and the loose watercolor washes keep it feeling light rather than busy.
This is the kind of kids playroom sports print that works just as well in a nursery as it does in a bedroom for a slightly older child who's already been signed up for Saturday lessons. The elephant monkey hippo illustration has real personality without being loud, which means it can live on the wall for years without you ever getting tired of looking at it.
It fits naturally into a safari nursery decor scheme, but it doesn't need one. Neutral walls, a wooden crib, a little greenery nearby, and this print does the rest.
