Original – Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, French poet, writer, and journalist.

Reason: A really nice portrait - just out of (American) copyright this year - and a huge upgrade on the old lead image. Biggest flaw is the 1920s retouching, which I've done what I could with.

~~Weak oppose~~ — It has good composition, but up close pretty much everything is slightly blurry (except the underside of the chin, oddly) and the face seems to be nothing but airbrushing. Moonreach (talk) 18:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, the business is pretty normal for this era at this scale. As for the nderside of the chin... That's down to the 1928 image retouching. I don't think it really affected the chin shape much, and the face as a whole - other than some scratches on the cheek - didn't seem abnormal for the era.

Hmm, so it should be considered a kind of era-specific limitation, akin to scratch marks? I can see that. I'm not enthusiastic enough to support this, but I'll strike my oppose. Moonreach (talk) 20:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
