It is, regrettably, possible that your friend thinks any photo comes from
Walgreens and costs 34 cents to print, and considers photos to be of
marginal value, unlike the hideous landscapes the old woman in the nursing
home down the street paints, for which she would pay hundreds.
Or, she might be a more evolved person that realizes that an enlarged photo
is printed by someone thats price list doesn't include prices in cents, has
value equal to that of "real" art, and understands that she should pay
something for it.
If she falls into the second, I would consider how close you are. If your
are good friends, and regualarly see each other outside of work, you may
wish to offer it to her at any price from a modest profit to cost, all the
way to free if the friendship includes benefits.
If she is a "work-only" friend, as your post seems to indicate, I would
suggest the $50 figure.
If she falls into the first catagory, sell it to her as to any other
customer. You could discount the gallery commission you won't pay, but
perhaps not. If she is in the first catagory, it probably won't matter.
