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
Our Lady is a small girl on her knees, her hands folded over a cushion of unfinished needlework, and her eyes go up. Lilies and roses stand in a vase at her side; a clay cup, a basket of white linen, a closed book on a stool. The Metropolitan Museum tells the medieval legend that Mary lived as a child in the Temple, praying and sewing vestments, and that such paintings were models for girls. Her large, upturned eyes, the Met says, meet heaven's blessing through ethereal angels. It credits the work's force to Zurbarán the still-life painter, to his calculated use of the empty spaces between simple objects, and to pottery and textiles from the Seville of his day that join the divine and the everyday. The Church keeps her Presentation on 21 November. The work waits in her lap while she prays.
