Hang it

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

Print
18 × 60 in, the whole painting on 20 × 60 in paper
Center
52¼ in (133 cm) from the floor
Above the sofa
8 in (20 cm) from the sofa to the frame
Ideal width
56 to 63 in over an 84 in sofa
Why this height
Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the sofa, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

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.
