- Reason
- High Resolution, Excellent Color balance; a highly inferior scan was being used on almost all of the pages involving Richelieu, so I've replaced them with this version; it has great encyclopedic value.

- Oppose based on the painting composition itself. Note, the picture is mostly being used to illustrate the Cardinal himself. But he has a pinhead and it blends into the background. The robes are too voluminous. Just because we have a Counter-reformation artwork, does not mean it is good art.TCO (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- I Withdraw my Nomination I just found a major scanning error at the bottom of the lace on the robes; this scan is no good. Indefatigable2 (talk) 19:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
