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.

About this painting

A penguin stands at the water's edge beside two swans, and neither has any business in the other's country. The Toledo Museum of Art names them: a South American Humboldt penguin, European mute swans, in a garden that let Izaac van Oosten set side by side creatures that never meet. The museum counts more than a hundred birds and animals, nearly all recognisable species, drawn from what the Netherlands had to hand in menageries, book illustrations and stuffed specimens. Adam and Eve are in here somewhere, small among the trees; the museum asks you to look for them. Every creature stands exact to its kind, already named.

And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.
