Support - Very useful. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:22, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support — A huge file of one of Bruegel's most famous works. Lots of prosaic little touches, such as the 5-o'clock shadow on that piper. These are real people. Sca (talk) 01:37, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very realistic. Was the canvas at some point torn or cut in two (the horizontal line)?--Godot13 (talk) 23:50, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The extra foot ... ?

Comment - it's the tree panel. Hafspajen (talk) 10:40, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting detail: The German article notes that the server in the red shirt seems to have an extra foot, and says the artist evidently overlooked this anomaly. Never noticed it before. Sca (talk) 16:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extra fot? Hafspajen (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. He does have three feet. Hafspajen (talk) 20:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the German article, in its inimitable German way, terms it der überzählige Fuß – "the supernumerary foot," or literally, the "over-count-ish foot." The scene:
"Hey, this guy has three feet, that's more than the usual count, what should we call it?"
"How about the over-count-ish foot?" Sca (talk) 22:12, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
