Common questions
Where can I buy a framed print of Lion?
Frameable sells framed prints of Lion by Sir Peter Paul Rubens. We print from National Gallery of Art's own photograph of it, on archival paper, framed in solid wood in the USA. Framed prints start at $79 and are delivered in 3 to 5 business days.
What size should a print of Lion be?
The original drawing measures 25.2 × 28.3 cm, so 16×20" holds its proportions best. 11×14" and 8×10" also fit with minimal cropping. Every size is printed sharp, so the choice is about your wall, not the file.
Is it legal to print Lion?
Yes. Lion (c. 1612-1613) by Sir Peter Paul Rubens is in the public domain, and National Gallery of Art has released its image under a CC0 license that allows unrestricted reproduction, including framed prints for your home.
