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.
