Where Print size

Print: 21½ × 24 in, the whole painting on 24 × 24 in paper
Center: 68 in (173 cm) from the floor
Above the headboard: 8 in (20 cm) from the headboard to the frame
Ideal width: 40 to 45 in over a 60 in headboard
Why this height: Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the headboard, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

21½ × 24 in landscape print (55 × 61 cm), centered 68 in from the floor, 8 in above the headboard. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.

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.
