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.

Sizes
image 6.1×10 in on a 8×10 in sheet
The museum’s file supports 8×10 in at 329 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
Roses lie in a lifted fold of brocade, and a young saint holds them as if they weighed nothing. Casilda turns her face to us and keeps walking; the silk falls to the floor behind her, pearls at her throat, a thin halo over her hair. Cécile Vincent-Cassy reads the flowers as the miracle that hid her charity: loaves she carried to Christian prisoners, unseen by her Muslim father. She calls Zurbarán's saints false portraits, built to give the feeling of a likeness though no sitter was copied, and dressed in the painter's own century. The Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga records how he and his workshop repeated the type for religious houses in Andalusia and the Americas. Bread became roses so a father would not see. The smallest thing in the room is the whole of the gift.
