William Turnbull prints come in several standard dimensions

William Turnbull prints come in several standard dimensions

The question sounds simple, but the answer depends on whether you mean the artist's own limited editions or a reproduction house's standard runs. Here is what the sizing landscape actually looks like.

The short answer

William Turnbull prints are commonly offered in a small set of standard sizes, usually ranging from roughly 24 by 30 centimetres up to about 70 by 100 centimetres. Custom dimensions are less common for this artist than for more commercial names, so buyers who need a specific fit should ask before assuming a size exists.

What standard sizes usually mean

Most reproduction houses work from a fixed ladder of sizes, and Turnbull prints tend to sit on that same ladder. A small format such as 24 by 30 centimetres suits a shelf or a narrow wall. A mid format such as 40 by 50 centimetres is the most common middle ground. Larger formats exist, but they are less predictable for a minor artist whose original market is small.

The exact numbers vary by seller, and that variation matters more than the label. One shop's medium is another shop's large. If you have a wall space in mind, measure it first and then compare the measurements to the product page rather than trusting the word medium or large on its own.

Where custom sizing fits in

Custom sizing is available for some reproductions, but it is not a given for Turnbull specifically. A seller that offers bespoke dimensions will usually charge more and take longer, and the result is still a reproduction, not an original. That distinction matters if you are trying to match a frame you already own.

The practical question is whether you need a custom size at all. Many buyers who think they need one actually need a standard size that is close enough. A frame with a wide mat can absorb a small difference in print size, which is often cheaper and faster than ordering a bespoke print.

Questions to ask first

  • Ask whether the seller lists exact centimetres rather than only labels like small or large
  • Confirm whether a custom size is offered for this specific artist or only for the house's broader catalogue
  • Check whether a standard size plus a mat would solve the fit problem more cheaply
  • Compare the print size to the wall space, not to the furniture below it

What the catalogue reality means for you

Auvrique does not currently offer editions by William Turnbull, so any sizing discussion here is about the market generally rather than a specific product you can order from this house. That is worth stating plainly, because a buyer who arrives expecting to choose a Turnbull size here will leave confused.

The same sizing logic still applies wherever you shop. Measure the wall, decide whether a standard size is close enough, and ask about custom work only if the standard range fails. The artist's name does not change the mechanics of fit, only the likelihood that a given size is in stock.

A print that is slightly too small with a wide mat often beats a bespoke print that arrives late and still needs trimming.

Key takeaways

  1. Standard sizes for Turnbull prints usually run from about 24 by 30 centimetres up to roughly 70 by 100 centimetres, though exact numbers vary by seller.
  2. Custom dimensions are less common for this artist than for more commercial names, so confirm availability before assuming a size exists.
  3. A standard size plus a mat often solves a fit problem more cheaply than ordering a bespoke print.
  4. Auvrique does not currently offer Turnbull editions, so sizing choices here describe the market rather than a specific product on this site.

Related questions

Can I get a Turnbull print in a size that matches my existing frame?

Only if the seller offers custom sizing for this artist, which is not guaranteed. Many buyers solve the same problem with a standard print and a mat that absorbs the difference. Ask the seller for exact centimetre options before assuming a match exists.

What is the most common size for a Turnbull reproduction?

The most common middle ground is usually around 40 by 50 centimetres, though sellers label sizes differently. That size fits a modest wall without dominating it. If you need something larger or smaller, check the product page for exact measurements rather than trusting the label.

Do Turnbull prints come in the same sizes as more famous artists?

Often yes, because reproduction houses tend to use the same standard ladder across their catalogue. The difference is stock, not format. A more commercial artist is more likely to have every standard size in print at once, while a minor artist may only have a few sizes available at a time.
