Size

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.

16 × 20 in 41 × 51 cm

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

Size	Metric	Where it works
16 × 20 in	41 × 51 cm	Plays well with others: the middle of a gallery wall, a pair side by side, or a hallway on its own.
24 × 30 in	61 × 76 cm	Holds a wall on its own above a dresser, console or sideboard. Above a bed or a sofa, hang two side by side.
32 × 40 in	81 × 102 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.

Questions about sizes or framing? Ask us

This painting is lemon yellow, scarlet and the deep reds of a Turkish rug, and a cheap copy turns it flat and muddy. Our Vermeer Procuress print is made from the museum’s own photograph, nothing repainted, so the yellow jacket, the blue jug and the rug stay clear.

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

16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.

On your wall

Its near-square shape suits a dining room, a living room or a study. The yellows and reds look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a black or gold frame suits it.

About the painting

The Procuress by Johannes Vermeer

Vermeer at 24

Johannes Vermeer of Delft was 24 when he signed and dated this picture in 1656. It is his first known scene of everyday life, the kind of painting that would make him famous.

A coin in an open hand

Four figures lean over a balcony draped with a rug from Uşak. A soldier in red drops a coin into a young woman’s hand while an old woman in black looks on.

The man with the glass

At the left, a man in a black beret raises his glass to us. He is dressed like the painter in Vermeer’s The Art of Painting, and is thought to be Vermeer himself.

How each piece is brought to life

Faithful to the original, and made to be felt on your wall.

Printed for you

Printed to order on cotton canvas or fine art paper, then framed if you chose a frame, in 1 to 3 business days.
On your wall

It arrives 5 to 12 business days later, tracked and free anywhere in the US. Framed pieces come ready to hang.

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.
