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.
| Frame | Effective dpi | Verdict | Crops |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 × 10 in | 338 | Gallery sharp | 4% |
| 11 × 14 in | 241 | Sharp up close | 6% |
| 12 × 16 in | 211 | Sharp up close | 10% |
| 16 × 20 in | 169 | Poster sharp | 4% |
| 18 × 24 in | 140 | Fine across a room | 10% |
| 24 × 36 in | 93 | Too soft | 20% |

The ticket
Study of Man between Trees is a work on paper by Odilon Redon (French, Bordeaux 1840–1916 Paris), dated 1860–80. Size on the museum record: 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (24.8 x 19.1 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — The Elisha Whittelsey Collection, The Elisha Whittelsey Fund, 1962.
The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 2,812 × 3,381 pixels — 9.5 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 9.4 × 11.3 in. That is bigger than the work on paper itself, which measures about 7.5 × 9.8 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.
