Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 18 × 16 in print therefore arrives as 20.4 × 18.3 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 24 × 21.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Vermeer's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 45.7 × 40.6 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Young Woman with a Water Pitcher" by Johannes Vermeer is a quiet masterpiece, painted around 1664-65, that captures the serene domesticity of a Dutch home. The scene is simple yet profoundly evocative: a young woman, adorned in a rich blue dress and a pristine white linen hood, stands by a window, her hand gently resting on the pane. The light pouring through the window bathes the room in a soft, ethereal glow, accentuating the delicate features of the woman and the intricate details of her surroundings.

Vermeer’s meticulous attention to light and texture is on full display here. The glass of the window, the sheen of the metal pitcher, and the sumptuousness of the fabric on the table all reflect his extraordinary skill. The map hanging on the wall behind her adds an element of intellectual curiosity, suggesting a world beyond the domestic sphere.

The woman's pose is both contemplative and purposeful. She is captured in a moment of stillness, yet there is an implicit action in her movement. The way her fingers touch the window frame, the slight tilt of her head, and the calm expression on her face suggest an inner world of thought and reflection. This interplay of light and shadow, stillness and movement, domesticity and intellectual curiosity, is quintessential Vermeer.

The viewer might observe the subtle narrative embedded in this composition, noting how Vermeer transforms a simple act into a scene of profound beauty and introspection. The painting invites viewers to step into a moment of quiet contemplation, to appreciate the beauty of everyday life through Vermeer’s masterful eyes.

Of course the Giclee print was flawless, but the frame made a beautiful print absolutely gorgeous. I cannot imagine higher quality work.
