Where Print size

Print: 16 × 20 in, filling the paper (trims 1.6 % of the picture)
Center: 47¼ in (120 cm) from the floor
Above the console table: 8 in (20 cm) from the console table to the frame
Ideal width: 36 to 41 in over a 54 in console table
Why this height: Centered at eye level, this frame would not sit 6 to 10 in above the console table, so the 8 in gap sets the height.

16 × 20 in landscape print (41 × 51 cm), centered 47¼ in from the floor, 8 in above the console table. Drawn to scale on a 12 × 8 ft wall.
