- New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Image is properly licensed (and a Valued image on Commons). Neutral, well cited, and not violating copyright. Hook fact is interesting and cited inline. I find the issue with Ingres planning to change the painting from an oval to a rectangular format slightly confusing: is it correct that he did change the format, but did not go through with other plans to change it? Perhaps you can clarify. Other than that I am happy.

- Yes, the painting was made rectangular, but some compositional changes that were part of that reformatting were not complete. GeneralPoxter (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
