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
The Farm at Les Collettes, Cagnes is a painting by Auguste Renoir (French, Limoges 1841–1919 Cagnes-sur-Mer), dated 1908–14. Oil on canvas. Size on the museum record: 21 1/2 x 25 3/4in. (54.6 x 65.4cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its European Paintings collection — Bequest of Charlotte Gina Abrams, in memory of her husband, Lucien Abrams, 1961.
In The Met's records, The Farm at Les Collettes, Cagnes is an oil on canvas credited to Auguste Renoir. The museum dates it 1908–14, and files it under accession 61.190 in European Paintings. People are the subject, and the grouping and gestures matter more than any single face; avoid cropping the edges. The Met's scan measures 4,000 × 3,359 pixels, which prints about 13.3 × 11.2 in at 300 dpi and 26.7 × 22.4 in at a still-comfortable 150 dpi. Because it runs wide, it wants a horizontal frame; check the crop percentage for each size before you commit. Its warm reds and oranges suit walnut or gold, which deepen the glow instead of washing it out. Paintings reproduce best on matte paper, since gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for. 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 4,000 × 3,359 pixels — 13.4 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 13.3 × 11.2 in. The painting itself measures about 25.7 × 21.5 in, so a true life-size print runs below 300 dpi — still sharp at normal viewing distance.Paintings reproduce best on matte paper. Gloss throws glare across exactly the brushwork you came for, and a picture light does more for a print than any upgrade in paper.
