Sizes

image 8.9×14 in on a 11×14 in sheet

The museum’s file supports 11×14 in at 302 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.

About this painting

A girl in a straw hat stands barefoot with a shepherd's staff, and behind her skirts a dragon opens its jaws. Her emblem is the thing that swallowed her. The National Gallery tells the Golden Legend: the dragon was Satan in disguise, it devoured Margaret, and she burst from its belly unharmed, to become patron saint of childbirth. The Gallery reads her gaze as passing over the beast, and her dress as a shepherdess's: lambskin, straw hat, a finger marking her prayer book. Isabelle Kent identifies the striped bag on her arm as an alforja from the mountains of Peru, likely a curio Zurbarán found in the Seville markets. The Gallery judges the canvas entirely his own, and finds it seems to belong to no series. The dragon keeps its mouth open. The saint has already walked out of it.
