The dimensions given are the dimensions in the frame. We have not opened the frame and don't know exact dimensions of the paper the work is on.

Text on the back reads: "Ma Ville Monsieur Arliban, appuyé sur une fontaine
porte le poids de Zangara Chesmar, morte depuis vingt ans."  (My Town: Mr. Arliban, leadning on a fountain, carries the weight of Zangara Chesmar, who died 20 years ago.")
