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
Nothing on her says Judith. Pearls in the hair and at the throat, an ermine collar hung with a gold chain, one hand laid on her breast: any rich sitter might wear them, and the Prado's own catalogues called her Queen Artemisia from 1857 to 1907, the nautilus cup her maid holds out read as the vessel of her husband's ashes. The museum now reads the gesture as Judith's reply to Holofernes's invitation to drink. What fixes the subject is one figure in the dark behind: an old servant who, the Prado says, holds the sack for Holofernes's head. X-radiography found her painted over another woman, who once stood between mistress and maid, hidden under azurite and smalt in the seventeenth century; whose hand made the change the museum cannot say. Rembrandt's banquet took its name from the bag.

And she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared for her.
