Six women, eight men, two satyrs, and one child gather in pairs and trios in a loose row that spans the width of this nearly square painting. They are set within a landscape with craggy rocks, cliffs, and trees.

Hang it

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

Print
21¾ × 24 in, the whole painting on 24 × 24 in paper
Center
66 in (168 cm) from the floor
Above the mantel
6 in (15 cm) from the mantel to the frame
Ideal width
44 to 50 in over a 66 in mantel
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 4 to 8 in above the mantel, so the 6 in gap sets the height.

21¾ × 24 in landscape print (55 × 61 cm), centered 66 in from the floor, 6 in above the mantel. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.

Default greige

No standard paper matches this painting’s proportions closely, so print it whole with a white border, or trim the edges to fill the paper.

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.
