What is dpi?
Dots per inch: how many pixels of the museum’s file go into each inch of paper. Our floor is 240 for sheets up to 20 inches, 180 up to 36 inches and 120 beyond, because a larger print is seen from further away. We never offer a sheet below the floor, and the number on each size is the one you receive.

All editionsAbout this painting
Two crowns were held out to Catherine, and she took the one that cuts. Carlo Dolci sets it on her black veil, the thorns standing up like a small hedge, and lets one glass-like tear rest on her cheek. Dulwich Picture Gallery tells the vision: at twenty-eight she saw Christ ask her to choose between a golden crown, ensuring riches in her earthly life, and a crown of thorns, guaranteeing glory in heaven. She wears the habit of a Dominican tertiary, her gaze cast down. Strong light from the right, Dulwich notes, gives her pale skin the look of alabaster. The tear does not fall.
