Standard paper sizes that keep this painting’s proportions, the frames that fit them, and how sharp each one prints.
| Paper | Filling the paper | Printed whole | Frame | Frame with a 2 in mat | Frame with a 3 in mat | Sharpness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 × 30 in | trims 0.5 % | 20 × 30 in | 20 × 30 in ready-made | 24 × 34 in custom | 26 × 36 in custom | 99 dpi, soft up close |
| 24 × 36 in | trims 0.5 % | 24 × 36 in | 24 × 36 in ready-made | 28 × 40 in custom | 30 × 42 in custom | 82 dpi, soft up close |
Sharpness is worked out from the largest file the museum offers. Above 300 dpi a print holds up at arm’s length; 150 dpi is plenty for a picture seen from across a sofa.
