Reluctant oppose. Even though this more than fulfills minimum size, the resolution is too low for this subject - doesn't allow you to study the details in the painting. --Janke | Talk 17:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regretful Oppose Janke's right. The resolution's crap. We need a high-def scan for FP purposes. --Shark face 217 02:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
