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

Print
22½ × 24 in, the whole painting on 24 × 24 in paper
Center
66½ in (169 cm) from the floor
Above the mantel
6 in (15 cm) from the mantel to the frame
Ideal width
44 to 50 in over a 66 in mantel
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 4 to 8 in above the mantel, so the 6 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.
