Overall: The article is new enough, long enough, and well sourced. Both hooks are cited and interesting, with ALT0 being a little whimsical. The painting is in the public domain and looks OK at 100px so no issues there. Since qpq is done and earwig isn't picking up any (non-quoted) copyvio, I'd say this one's ready!
