Dense and varied landscape with open fields, groves of bushy trees, and a row of thin conifers. A light-blue river tranverses the canvas, and a church steeple emerges from the trees at left of center.

Where Print size

Print: 24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 1.3 % of the picture)
Center: 55¼ in (140 cm) from the floor
Above the sofa: 8 in (20 cm) from the sofa to the frame
Ideal width: 56 to 63 in over an 84 in sofa
Why this height: Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the sofa, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

24 × 36 in landscape print (61 × 91 cm), centered 55¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the sofa. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
