Pick the furniture and a print size to see it to scale on your wall.

Print
20 × 36 in, the whole painting on 24 × 36 in paper
Center
49¼ in (125 cm) from the floor
Above the console table
8 in (20 cm) from the console table to the frame
Ideal width
36 to 41 in over a 54 in console table
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the console table, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

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.
