Two women look out of a window at the viewer. The younger leans on the sill with her chin in her hand and a frank, amused smile, a red bow in her hair; behind her an older woman peeks round the half-open shutter and hides her own laugh behind her shawl, which was the polite thing for a lady to do. The pairing suggests a girl and her chaperone, a familiar duo in Spanish households, though who they were laughing at is left to the imagination. Murillo, the most popular painter in Seville in the later seventeenth century, is known for Virgins and saints, but his genre pictures of street children and everyday life have a wistful charm of their own, and this is the finest. The National Gallery of Art in Washington dates it to about 1655 to 1660. It came there with the Widener Collection, having been bought by Peter A. B. Widener in 1894.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Two Women at a Window in the public domain?

Yes. Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Two Women at a Window painted, and in what medium?

Two Women at a Window dates from c. 1655/1660 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 125.1 × 104.5 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
