Sizes
image 7.5×10 in on a 8×10 in sheet
The museum’s file supports 8×10 in at 305 dpi; a larger sheet would fall below our floor.
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 crown of flowers, not gold, and two hands to hold it: Christ's on the left, God the Father's on the right, and above them the Holy Spirit as a Dove in a burst of light. Our Lady does not reach for it. Her eyes are down and one hand rests on her heart. The Prado suggests the gesture may recall the Virgin of Turchi's Annunciation, which hung in the same oratory; if so, crowned, she is still saying what she said when she was asked. The Prado tells how Velázquez painted it for Queen Isabel de Borbón's new prayer chapel in the Alcázar, to complete the nine Feasts of Our Lady that Cardinal Gaspar de Borja y Velasco had sent from Rome, and calls it his last religious work. Under her, small cherubim hold up the cloud.
