Hi Maarten,
We measure paintings without their frames (give or take an exception of course): most
frames are NOT original (even frames that State the name of the artist are usually 19th
century frames for 17th century paintings). We also swap frames: when we can get a
better/more original frame etc.
So in my opinion it is best to measure paintings without frame and/or state clearly
weather measurements are with or without frames.
Btw: most frames in the Rijksmuseum are considered (semi-)objects themselves and they have
their own inventory number (SK-L numbers) and own measurements.
Best wishes

I am currently writing an XSLT stylesheet to transform this XML to the Wikimedia format
for documenting Works of Art:
Dimensions – dcterms: SizeOrDuration (‘class’) – dimensions
Use Size formatting template: Dimensions of the artwork: 1D (length), 2D (width × height)
or 3D (width × height × depth). Please
use{{Size}}<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Size> formatting template,
such as:
{{Size|unit=cm|width=76.7|height=83.5}} <— gives Height: 83.5 cm (32.9 in). Width: 76.7
cm (30.2 in).
But, as you can see Size only consists of one type of unit and our dimensions consist of
two types of units for specific parts.
How do I solve this? Repeat dcterms: SizeOrDuration (‘class’) for different units? Ignore
units for weights etc?
Last night I was looking at
https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/SK-C-5 . And here for
the size it has "h 379.5 cm × w 453.5 cm". This is the size of the painting
without it's frame?
I'm wondering about the best way to deal with the size of the painting with or without
a frame,
seehttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paint…
