5x expanded by Maleschreiber (talk). Self-nominated at 15:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC).
The article is long enough and has been expanded enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't read. The hook is directly cited and a QPQ is not needed. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 23:37, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Could you move the bolded subject closer to the front of the hook? It takes a lot of reading to get to the end, and by then I lost interest. Yoninah (talk) 16:14, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

- @Maleschreiber: Thank you. In future, please add an alt instead of editing over previous hooks, as it makes it difficult for editors and administrators to follow the discussion. I have restored the thread.
- I'm just wondering if you need so much description in the hook. Could it be shortened to:

- We could shorten it. It'd be great to have a photo of the paintings[1], but I couldn't find any PD upload, so I tried to be as descriptive as possible.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
