- 24 × 36 in, filling the paper (trims 4.5 % of the picture)
- Center
- 55¼ in (140 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.

Standard paper sizes that keep this painting’s proportions, the frames that fit them, and how sharp each one prints.
| Paper | Filling the paper | Printed whole | Frame | Frame with a 2 in mat | Frame with a 3 in mat | Sharpness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 × 30 in | trims 4.5 % | 19 × 30 in | 20 × 30 in ready-made | 24 × 34 in custom | 26 × 36 in custom | 186 dpi, crisp from a step back |
| 24 × 36 in | trims 4.5 % | 23 × 36 in | 24 × 36 in ready-made | 28 × 40 in custom | 30 × 42 in custom | 155 dpi, crisp from a step back |
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.
