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 (1808). 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.

The story of this print

Pieter Gerardus van Os painted this lion from life in 1808, at the menagerie of Louis Napoleon, brother of Napoleon and King of Holland. The lion stands square on the floor of a dim enclosure, looking to the side with its mouth half open, its thick mane falling over its shoulders in dark brown and gold.

It is a large, close study of one animal, painted for the king. The tall shape suits a narrow wall, an entry or a study.

It is a restored public-domain painting by Pieter Gerardus van Os, 1808, from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum SK-A-1100). The image was cleaned and color-corrected; it is restored from the museum’s image, not redrawn.

What we did to this scan

  1. Cropped by hand to the edge of the printed sheet.
  2. Balanced the levels and took out the scanner’s color cast, keeping 85% of the paper’s age tone.
  3. Cleaned dust and specks picked up by the scanner.
  4. A light sharpen, so fine lines and lettering hold at large sizes.

About this particular sheet. Made from the Rijksmuseum's own image (Rijksmuseum SK-A-1100), cropped to the painted picture, cleaned of dust and specks and color-corrected while keeping the age of the paint.

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.
