How big can you print it?
Standard frame sizes, turned to match the artwork. "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.

The ticket
Drunken Asaina is a work on paper by Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760–1849 Tokyo (Edo)), dated ca. 1810. Fan mounted as hanging scroll; ink and color on paper. Size on the museum record: Image: 9 7/16 × 20 3/16 in. (24 × 51.3 cm) Overall with mounting: 54 3/4 × 28 3/4 in. (139 × 73 cm) Overall with knobs: 54 3/4 × 31 in. (139 × 78.7 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Asian Art collection — Purchase, Friends of Asian Art Gifts, 1991.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 4,000 × 3,000 pixels — 12 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.3 × 10 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 20.2 × 9.4 in.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.
