I have always kept this possibility (of duplicate giclees for family members) in mind.

With a proper markup on pricing, it certainly is an option if a family can't afford to commission two originals. It can even bring in a little extra profit for the artist, if priced correctly for the time involved plus markup.

Plus, once it is scanned, reproductions can be made at relatively low cost for the artist to use as demos for his or her own walls. And possibly prints for the portfolio, although the cost may not justify it.
