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
Each sheep has a rose in its mouth. They press round her knees, six of them, and she lays a hand on the nearest and holds out a white flower to the rest, a shepherdess in a straw hat with a blue mantle and a lambskin over her shoulders, her crook leaning on the rock behind. Above her, cherubs tumble through the branches, and far off at the right an archangel with a lance drives a wolf from a lost sheep. The Prado attributes the canvas to Alonso Miguel de Tobar, painter of Seville in the manner of Murillo, and dates it to about 1732, from the Spanish royal collection. The image was fixed in 1703, when the Capuchin friar Isidore of Seville had his vision of the Virgin painted to his own instructions, the hat, the rock, the roses, the rescue of the stray; this is that picture a generation on, the shepherdess of souls among her sheep, and every sheep bringing her a flower.
