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
The copper is small, and the gold on it is laid on like filigree: stars on the mantle, vines on the rose-coloured gown, the rays of the sun behind her, and the scrolled frames of four little scenes at the corners. In them Juan Diego kneels before the Virgin on the hill of Tepeyac, gathers her roses, and opens his tilma before the bishop, where her image is found painted on the cloth. Nicolás Enríquez signed and dated the picture at the foot, Mexico, 1773, and another line records that it was touched to the miraculous original on 2 July 1789, at the devotion of Don Juan Bautista Echeverría. The Metropolitan Museum of Art calls Guadalupe the most widely venerated sacred image in New Spain and counts this copper among its highlights. The angel under the moon holds up the hem of her mantle. She is looking down, still, at whoever stands before her.
