The ticket

The Supper at Emmaus is a print by Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606–1669 Amsterdam), dated 1654. Etching, burin and drypoint; first of two states. Size on the museum record: Sheet (Trimmed): 8 1/2 × 6 1/2 in. (21.6 × 16.5 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Gift of Felix M. Warburg and his family, 1941.

The Met catalogs The Supper at Emmaus as an etching, burin and drypoint; first of two states by Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn). The museum dates it 1654, and files it under accession 41.1.58 in Drawings and Prints. Spend a minute with the composition before choosing a size: notice where the eye lands first and where it rests. The Met's scan measures 2,775 × 3,652 pixels, which prints about 9.2 × 12.2 in at 300 dpi and 18.5 × 24.3 in at a still-comfortable 150 dpi. Because it runs tall, it wants a vertical frame; compare the crop percentage across sizes before you choose. Its muted earth tones are forgiving: natural wood softens the palette, walnut deepens it and black frames it like a gallery. Line work lives on contrast. Print it on smooth bright paper and give it a wider frame or mat so the fine marks are not swallowed. 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 2,775 × 3,652 pixels — 10.1 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 9.3 × 12.2 in. That is bigger than the print itself, which measures about 6.5 × 8.5 in — the file holds more detail than you can see standing in front of the original.Line work lives or dies on contrast. Print it on a smooth, bright paper and give it a wide mat: small graphic work drowns in a thin frame and a big empty border makes it look like it came out of a print room drawer.
