Generally the bottom of the artwork should be 8-10 inches from the back of the sofa...but I always use that as a guideline and eye it. I want to be comfortable looking at it!
Place it so the center is eye level
Hello! There is not a set number of inches - this varies depending on how large the artwork is. I would hang it so the top of the art is about 2/3 up the wall, right at eye level.

The middle of the picture should be 53"- 60" from the floor. It will be more pleasing to the eye. And you won't hang it to close to the ceiling.
If using eye level as a guide, split the height difference of adults.
I agree with Margarite! And as far as how to hang it, use a french cleat that can hold a larger picture safely. Also makes it super easy to hang it level!
