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
Old Tobit sits by the window with his hands folded and his eyes lifted, and he cannot see the kid his wife Anna holds out to him. Every ruin in this room began with a good deed. He buried the dead the king left in the street, and as he slept a swallow's dung fell into his eyes and blinded him. Anna weaves for their bread; the kid is her wages. Hearing it bleat, Tobit thinks it stolen, and the Rijksmuseum, which gives this painting of 1626 to Rembrandt outright, reads his torn clothes as poverty and his folded hands as prayer: he turns from the accusation and asks God for death. A little dog waits by the fire. A birdcage hangs by the window. A bird is why he cannot see it.
