The ticket

Hallucinations is a work on paper by Odilon Redon (French, Bordeaux 1840–1916 Paris), dated n.d.. Charcoal on tan paper. Size on the museum record: image: 11 5/8 x 9 5/16 in. (29.5 x 23.7 cm) mount: 14 3/4 x 11 5/8 in. (37.5 x 29.6 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Bequest of Scofield Thayer, 1982.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 2,803 × 3,508 pixels — 9.8 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 9.3 × 11.7 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 9.3 × 11.6 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.
