That file is 3,066 × 3,369 pixels — 10.3 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 10.2 × 11.2 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 11 × 11.8 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.
