Pick the furniture and a print size to see it to scale on your wall.
- 24 × 24 in, filling the paper (trims 0.6 % of the picture)
- Center
- 67¼ in (171 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.
