The ticket

Camp with Ambulance is a work on paper by John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856–1925 London), dated 1918. Watercolor and graphite on white wove paper. Size on the museum record: 15 5/16 x 20 3/4 in. (38.9 x 52.7 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its The American Wing collection — Gift of Mrs. Francis Ormond, 1950.

In The Met's records, Camp with Ambulance is a watercolor and graphite on white wove paper credited to John Singer Sargent. The museum dates it 1918, and files it under accession 50.130.50 in The American Wing. Spend a minute with the composition before choosing a size: notice where the eye lands first and where it rests. The Met's scan measures 3,811 × 2,795 pixels, which prints about 12.7 × 9.3 in at 300 dpi and 25.4 × 18.6 in at a still-comfortable 150 dpi. Its wide proportions sit naturally over a sofa, console or bed, and the crop figures in the set builder show what a standard frame would trim. Its warm reds and oranges suit walnut or gold, which deepen the glow instead of washing it out. Works on paper are quiet. Print near the original's scale instead of blowing it up, and keep it out of direct sun like the museum does. Light it from above with a soft warm bulb, hang the centre of the picture near 57 inches, and it will read as intended instead of as decoration.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,811 × 2,795 pixels — 10.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.7 × 9.3 in. The work on paper itself measures about 20.7 × 15.3 in, so a true life-size print runs below 300 dpi — still sharp at normal viewing distance.Works on paper are quiet. Print near the original’s size rather than blowing it up, mat it generously, and keep it out of direct sun — the same rules the museum follows for the real one.
