Here is a painting that I was viewing a few minutes ago: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:De_molen_bij_Wijk_bij_Duurstede_Rijk...
Hey, I uploaded that. :-)
My approach to these initial Rijks uploads was to just get on with it and worry about format fixes later. Our templates do not handle arrays in a parameter, but that is effectively what we are attempting to do with dimensions against artworks. Though paintings have height and width, I have handled other objects such as statues or ancient artefacts, where there may be many key dimensions to describe, such as the diameter of a cup along with the width of its base.
I suggest using the free format of the parameter to add dimensions in a consistent way. It can always be unpicked and reformatted later.
If wikidata can resolve this, some interesting questions could be asked later on, such as automatically identifying miniatures, or life size statues of people.
