The ticket

Standing Woman in Moroccan Costume is a work on paper by Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798–1863 Paris), dated ca. 1834. Graphite and watercolor on wove paper. Size on the museum record: 12-13/16 x 8-3/16 in. (32.5 x 20.8 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Bequest of Walter C. Baker, 1971.

In The Met's records, Standing Woman in Moroccan Costume is a graphite and watercolor on wove paper credited to Eugène Delacroix. The museum dates it ca. 1834, and files it under accession 1972.118.209 in Drawings and Prints. The subject is a person, so the face is the anchor. Hang it with the eyes near the centre line instead of floating high on the wall. The Met's scan measures 2,428 × 3,790 pixels, which prints about 8.1 × 12.6 in at 300 dpi and 16.2 × 25.3 in at a still-comfortable 150 dpi. Its tall proportions suit a hallway, a narrow wall or the gap beside a door, and the set builder shows how much each standard frame would crop. Its muted earth tones are forgiving: natural wood softens the palette, walnut deepens it and black frames it like a gallery. 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 2,428 × 3,790 pixels — 9.2 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 8.1 × 12.6 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 8.2 × 12.8 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.
