- 17½ × 20 in, the whole painting on 20 × 20 in paper
- Center
- 66 in (168 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.

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.
