I almost went with tromp l’oeil of windows, too, but they weren’t half as charming as your find. 😊 So I went with flowers that made me not just look but touch: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2023/09/10/fake-bouquet/

It was great to see such gentle “pretence”. I had noticed it on an early morning walk but had a better view the next day when I clambered up inside the Roman Amphitheatre
