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
Group of Trees is a work on paper by Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90?–1576 Venice), dated 1485/90–1576. Pen and brown ink, traces of gray printer's ink at lower right, on beige paper. Size on the museum record: 8 9/16 x 12 9/16in. (21.8 x 31.9cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Rogers Fund, 1908.
In The Met's records, Group of Trees is a pen and brown ink, traces of gray printer's ink at lower right, on beige paper credited to Titian (Tiziano Vecellio). The museum dates it 1485/90–1576, and files it under accession 08.227.38 in Drawings and Prints. The subject is a view, and the eye travels from the foreground to the distance; give it wall space so that route stays readable. The Met's scan measures 3,690 × 2,570 pixels, which prints about 12.3 × 8.6 in at 300 dpi and 24.6 × 17.1 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. Add a small picture light and keep the centre of the piece around 57 inches from the floor; those two choices make a reproduction look deliberate.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,690 × 2,570 pixels — 9.5 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.3 × 8.6 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 12.6 × 8.6 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.
