The ticket

The Triumph of Genius over Envy is a work on paper by Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798–1863 Paris), dated ca. 1849–51. Pen and brown ink over graphite on laid paper, mounted on cardboard. Size on the museum record: 10-3/8 x 13-13/16 in. (26.4 x 35.1 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds it in its Drawings and Prints collection — Rogers Fund, 1961.

The Met released its scan under CC0, which means no permission, no fee and no credit line required. That file is 3,712 × 2,887 pixels — 10.7 megapixels — good for a gallery-sharp print up to 12.4 × 9.6 in. That is roughly life-size: the work on paper itself measures about 13.8 × 10.4 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.
