Which size fits your wall

Every size keeps the painting's own proportions. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

20 × 16 in 51 × 41 cm

Three-seat sofa, 84 in wide × 34 in tall (213 × 86 cm)

Size	Metric	Where it works
20 × 16 in	51 × 41 cm	Plays well with others: the middle of a gallery wall, a pair side by side, or a hallway on its own.
30 × 24 in	76 × 61 cm	Holds a wall on its own above a dresser, console or sideboard. Above a bed or a sofa, hang two side by side.
40 × 32 in	102 × 81 cm	A statement piece. Big enough to anchor a living room or dining room wall alone, or to hang above a queen bed or a fireplace.

Rule of thumb: choose art about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it.

This painting is sea greens, greys and white sails, and a cheap copy flattens the sea. Our Claude Monet Port of Le Havre print was graded from a high-resolution master so the waves and sails stay crisp.

Canvas, framed or paper

Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.

Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.

Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.

Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.

Sizes

20x16 inch, 30x24 inch, 40x32 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

On your wall

Its wide shape suits a living room, a bedroom or a hallway. The greens and greys look lovely with white, sand and natural oak, and a black or natural oak frame suits it.

About the painting

The Entrance to the Port of Le Havre by Claude Monet

Le Havre, c. 1868

Claude Monet grew up in Le Havre. Visiting his family there, he painted boats coming in past the jetty and lighthouse.

A lost picture

It was a sketch for a large painting he showed at the Salon of 1868, now lost. He gave it to his friend Antoine Lafont, a witness at his wedding in 1870.

Read the story

Sailing boats and steamers ride a choppy green sea, beside a jetty with a lighthouse.

Claude Monet grew up in Le Havre, on the coast of Normandy. He probably painted this while visiting his family there.

For years it was called The Entrance to the Port of Honfleur. The jetty and the lighthouse show it is really Le Havre.

It is a sketch. Monet used it to plan a large painting of the harbour, which he showed at the Paris Salon of 1868.

That large painting is now lost. This sketch is what remains.

He gave it to his friend Antoine Lafont, a journalist. When Monet married Camille in 1870, Lafont was a witness at the wedding.

The inscription on it is dated 1870, the year of the wedding.

It belongs to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California.

Look at the white sails, and then at the lighthouse.

The Entrance to the Port of Le Havre. Claude Monet, about 1868.

Questions

Is this the original painting?

No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.

Will the colour look flat?

This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.

Will the edges be cropped?

Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.

Which size is right for my wall?

Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.

How long does it take?

Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.

What if it arrives damaged?

Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
