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
Saint Catherine rests her hands on a spiked wooden wheel, and Lorenzo Lotto has put his name on the wood: Laurentius Lotus, 1522, lettered at lower right. The Web Gallery of Art records that scholars find her intensely like a portrait, and that she began as an image for private prayer before Lotto himself reworked her for display in a church. The portrait shows in small things: a slender crown looped with pearls and red and green stones, a gold ring on the third finger of her left hand, a palm laid across her body. She looks straight out, at whoever has just come in.
