Size

Will it fit? Check these sizes against your wall

Measure the wall between whatever bounds it — window trim, a doorway, the corner. Sizes are judged hung (frame included) with 6 in of breathing room, two-thirds the width of the furniture under them, and the center at eye level (57–60 in). Guidance, not a guarantee: the true-size template is the final check.

  • Made to order just for you: printed, finished and packed within 3–5 business days. Your order reaches the printer within minutes and printing can start soon after; once it starts, the order can't be canceled or changed.
  • Free replacement if it arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered — tell us within 7 days of delivery, with photos. Because each piece is made for you, there are no returns for a change of mind. Full policy
  • No hanging hardware is included. Stretched and framed canvases hang flat on two nails or screws, set level: the wooden bar on the back rests on them, and the free wall template marks the spot. Rolled canvas goes to a framer first.
  • Printed from an archive scan of the original print (ca. 1504–1458 BCE). Its paper tone, small spots and marks of age are part of the picture, just as on the original sheet, and colors can look slightly different on your screen.

Materials & finish

Printed on 400 gsm canvas with pigment inks. Stretched canvas and float frame canvas sit on a 1.5 in (38 mm) wooden stretcher; the classic frame holds the canvas on a slimmer 0.75 in (19 mm) stretcher. Rolled canvas ships in a sturdy tube.

The float frame stands 2.1 in (53 mm) off the wall, with a 0.5 in (12 mm) face and a 0.2 in (5 mm) gap around the canvas. The classic frame stands 0.9 in (22 mm) off the wall with a 0.8 in (20 mm) face.

Hanging hardware is not included. Two picture hooks (or screws) rated for the weight, set level, are all it needs; the free true-size wall template marks the spot.

Corner of a Black float frame canvas: the canvas sits inside the frame with a narrow gap Back of a float frame canvas: wooden stretcher inside the frame, no hanging hardware fitted Cross-section of the float frame: 53 mm deep, 12 mm face, 5 mm gap, 38 mm canvas
The float frame up close: front corner, the back as it arrives, and its cross-section. Photos: Prodigi, who print and frame our pieces.

The story of this print

In a tomb at Thebes, a pet cat sits under its owner’s chair, a common way for the Egyptians to show a beloved animal with its family. The cat is golden ocher, covered in dark spots and stripes, with its back arched a little and its long ringed tail curling up behind. The dark legs of the chair frame it on both sides, and a dish of food rests above.

The 4:5 shape sizes from 16×20 up to 40×50 inches.

This print is made from the facsimile that Hugh R. Hopgood painted for the Metropolitan Museum’s Egyptian Expedition, copying the ancient wall on site. The Met marks it Public Domain and releases its photograph under CC0 (Met 557635 / 30.4.94); we print it as published, enlarged 2× for print.

What we did to this scan

  1. Used as the museum photographed and published it: no retouching and no color changes.
  2. Cropped by hand to the painted facsimile sheet, removing the mount and background around it in the museum's photograph.
  3. Enlarged 2× for print with Real-ESRGAN, an AI upscaler, so the brushwork holds at large sizes.

About this particular sheet. Made from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access photograph of the facsimile, with the mount and background round it trimmed off and the photograph enlarged 2× for print with an AI upscaler (Real-ESRGAN); the museum's record is linked on this page. Cracks, losses and faded areas are part of the facsimile, which records the wall as it was found.

Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.
