Original – God Speed, a 1900 painting by British artist Edmund Leighton, depicting an armored knight departing to war and leaving his beloved. The woman ties a red sash around knight's arm, which he is meant to return, a medieval custom which assured both parties that they would be reunited, alive and well.

Reason: A version with higher resolution was uploaded since the first nomination, so giving it a second chance. Also, improves our coverage of artists less known than Rembrandt or van Gogh. Brandmeister^talk 09:17, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - though I rather prefer this reproduction from the original Sotheby's sale catalogue (it's easy to recover Sotheby's high resolution images from the page Source file BTW). It would be nice if someone at Commons could write a template for Sotheby's similar to the Christie's template. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The Christie's file is essentially the same scan, just a bit warmer. I may upload it, as I agree it looks better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:03, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
