Hang it

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

Print
30 × 40 in, filling the paper (trims 3.7 % of the picture)
Center
54¼ in (138 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.
Fruit, Jug, and a Glass: a 30 × 40 in print hung above a console table, drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall
30 × 40 in landscape print (76 × 102 cm), centered 54¼ 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.
