On the category. Genre painting and printmaking of the act of drinking coffee runs from 18th-century French rococo to late-19th-century Impressionist café-concert work. The register varies; the subject is recognizable across two hundred years.

The master file is 4042 × 5162 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 17 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
