Adriaen van Ostade’s Dutch inn at full tilt — a fiddler sawing, a couple hauled up to dance, the stoneware jug set down on the boards where it will be reached for again. The tavern is where wine stopped being a sacrament and became a Saturday night. A faithful reproduction of a public-domain painting at The Art Institute of Chicago. The jug is painted dead centre on the floor — the still point the whole dance orbits. The oldest use of the cellar: to get the room up and moving.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
