Put this work on your wall
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 12,285 × 14,550 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 81.9 × 97 in at 150 dpi.

The story
It is technically a tronie — a character study, not a commission. Nobody knows who she was, which is why she works on a wall: she is looking at you and she is not asking anything of you.
This one demands a dark background to sit against. On a white wall it floats badly. On charcoal, navy, or an oxblood wall it stops being a museum-shop image and becomes a painting again.
Small is fine here. This is the one piece on the board that survives at 12 x 16.
What it pairs with
A dark wall, a black frame, one warm bulb.

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.
