Overall: @Epicgenius: Good article. Though, the hook is weirdly worded. What does ". that in the 16th-century etchings of Jean Mignon" mean? is it referring to etchings by him the 16th century or etchings of him? Also, the lead is way too big. There's no reason a 4 paragraph article should have a 3 paragraph lead. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:19, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

• Don't understand - is there a missing word here? Anyway, changed "of" to "by", although I don't see this was unclear. There are no etchings showing him. The lead is not too long; many leads are much too short. Anyway, this is not a DYK issue. Johnbod (talk) 19:28, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

@Johnbod: "that in the 16th-century etchings by Jean Mignon" seems to have an error somewhere. Also yes, I know the lead doesn't matter so I'll approve if it doesn't get fixed but the lead is still way to big regardless. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:46, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Well, if you track the error down, let me know. Johnbod (talk) 05:18, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Johnbod: We could say "... that in etchings by Jean Mignon, most figures have open mouths?" as I don't really see the reason as to why the century date needs to be added in the hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

The date give useful context, and is rather surprisingly early; these are among the first French etchings. Johnbod (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

• @Onegreatjoke: I think you meant to ping Johnbod there, but since he's aware of your review already, this is a bit of a moot point. Epicgenius (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
• If it makes you happier, I could change the word order:
• ALT1 * ... that most figures in the 16th-century etchings by Jean Mignon have open mouths (example pictured)? Johnbod (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
