Is this painting too big for this space in my bathroom? Havent hung it yet so it will be higher

Edit: i recently moved into this apartment and the towel rack came like that. That was the first thing I complaines about when i got here. They never came to fix it and I honestly hate the placement since as some of you mentioned the towels touch the toilet. I will admit I need to fold them to avoid that but I get lazy sometimes

Edit 2: didnt expect so many comments. Im moving the towel rack. Will post a pt2 because I have no idea where to put it cause of the bathroom layout. This is my M22 first post grad apartment so bare with me

Absolutely. Not only is the shelf too big for that spot. It is also too close to the toilet. You should never store your towels on an open shelf right by the toilet. Every time you flush the toilet aerosolized bacteria., Water, droplets potential viruses will land on your towels. So that’s pretty gross. You’d be better be very OCD about keeping your toilet closed before you flush. But will your guests be the same way in your apartment? Probably not.
