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
Study for "Young Girl in a Green Coat" is a work on paper by Berthe Morisot (French, Bourges 1841–1895 Paris), dated ca. 1894. Pencil on polished buff laid paper. Size on the museum record: 6 7/8 × 4 3/16 in. (17.5 × 10.6 cm) Framed: 21 1/4 × 16 1/4 in. (54 × 41.3 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Robert Lehman Collection collection — Robert Lehman Collection, 1975.
In The Met's records, Study for "Young Girl in a Green Coat" is a pencil on polished buff laid paper credited to Berthe Morisot. The museum dates it ca. 1894; it sits in the Robert Lehman Collection department as accession 1975.1.674. 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 2,488 × 4,000 pixels, which prints about 8.3 × 13.3 in at 300 dpi and 16.6 × 26.7 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 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 2,488 × 4,000 pixels — 10 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 8.3 × 13.3 in. That is bigger than the work on paper itself, which measures about 4.2 × 6.9 in — the file holds more detail than you can see standing in front of the original.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.
