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 20.2 × 18 in print therefore arrives as 22.6 × 20.4 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 20.2 × 18 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 51.4 × 45.7 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

"Woman with a Lute near a Window," painted by Johannes Vermeer around 1664, is a masterclass in the Dutch Golden Age's interplay of light, space, and intimate moments. The scene captures a young woman in a serene, private moment, poised delicately with a lute by an open window. Vermeer's genius lies in his ability to freeze time, allowing us to feel the stillness and quiet contemplation of the sitter.

The composition is bathed in a soft, diffused light that enters through the window on the left, casting gentle shadows and illuminating the woman's face and hands with a tender glow. This light not only defines her form but also subtly highlights the textures of her garment and the lute, enhancing the realism Vermeer is celebrated for. The map on the wall behind her serves as both a backdrop and a narrative device, hinting at the wider world beyond the confines of the room, perhaps suggesting a longing for exploration or the passage of time.

The woman's gaze is directed out of the window, her expression pensive, almost wistful. It invites the viewer to ponder what thoughts or dreams occupy her mind. The simplicity of the scene is deceptive; each element, from the carefully arranged drapery on the table to the empty chair, is meticulously placed to create a harmonious balance.

Vermeer's use of color is subtle yet striking, with the muted tones of the room contrasting with the soft yellow of the woman's dress and the deep blue of the tablecloth. This restrained palette enhances the painting's tranquility, making it a quintessential example of Vermeer's ability to capture the beauty in everyday moments. In "Woman with a Lute near a Window," we witness the quiet poetry of domestic life through Vermeer's unparalleled skill in rendering light and space.
