Drag the print to move it. The painting is shown at true scale; where its shape differs from the sheet the print has a paper border, not drawn here. Prints are sold unframed, and a frame here is only for planning.

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
A book lies open in Our Lady's hands, and the Christ Child on her lap has one hand on the page and the other at His mouth. The Web Gallery of Art reads the moment as a pause in reading: the Virgin seems to meditate on a passage in the book her Son is thumbing, and He, in a long white shirt, has seized the bookmark. Massys painted it young, in the tradition of the Flemish Primitives: an ornate Gothic throne, halos of golden rays and, the commentary notes, stained glass of Saint Catherine between two escutcheons, with Saint Barbara in the window to the left. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium acquired it at the Weyer sale in Cologne in 1862. Her eyes are lowered to the page, and His hand keeps the place.
