Pick a size, then order the art, its matching frame and the finishing gear. If this work has no ready-made print, download the free file and upload it to the linked custom printer.
Print and frame use the same outside size. Preview the image placement before buying.
A mat needs a smaller print and a custom opening. We'll recalculate both below. Check the frame's actual opening before cutting.
The light width follows your frame size.

How big can you print it?
Worked out from the free 4,973 × 6,001 px file. Standard frame sizes, turned to match the painting. "Crops" is how much of the picture you lose filling that frame edge to edge — or keep it all and let a mat take up the difference. Poster-sharp to 33.2 × 40 in at 150 dpi.

The story
The models are Grant Wood’s sister Nan and his dentist, Byron McKeeby. They were not farmers, they were not married, and the house was one Wood saw in Eldon, Iowa and thought was pretentious.
Its deadpan faces invite parody, but the original composition is stranger than the jokes: a pointed window, a pitchfork and an unusually tight pair of figures. Choose a reproduction that keeps those details sharp.
Sits best in a kitchen or an entryway, in a plain wood frame that matches the house in the background.
What it pairs with
An entryway and a completely unironic wooden frame.
Buying notes
- Matte paper usually cuts glare in a bright room. If you prefer a glossy finish, check it under the light where you plan to hang it.
- Compare sizes against your wall before ordering. The wall fitterhelps you see whether a larger frame works.
- Try a centre around 57 inches from the floor, then adjust for furniture and sight lines.
- A mat can give a smaller print breathing room; check the opening size before buying.
