Where Print size

Print: 21¾ × 24 in, the whole painting on 24 × 24 in paper
Center: 50¼ in (127 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.

21¾ × 24 in landscape print (55 × 61 cm), centered 50¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the console table. 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.
