The painting, which measures 201.5 cm × 116.1 cm (79.3 in × 45.7 in), depicts model Christine Spartali in a Japanese-style kimono, reminiscent of 18th-century French chinoiserie stylings.

Comment - Seems a little blurry at the top. Is it just me? MathewTownsend (talk) 18:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the 6 in the signature, and I don't see blur. I see the texture of the canvas. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:09, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What 6? I don't see a 6. MathewTownsend (talk) 00:07, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The six at the end of his signature, where it says "1864". Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:30, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that, even when I look at the full view. Where is it? MathewTownsend (talk) 00:37, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Viewer's top left corner. First you should see "Whistler", then next to it is the year 1864. It's fairly big at full resolution. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can barely see something is there at full resolution. Do you have some kind of humongous screen? MathewTownsend (talk) 00:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1024x600, better known as "tiny". Odd, which viewer are you using? I'm using the non-flash in Firefox. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:05, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can see it in the thumbnail. Saffron Blaze (talk) 10:42, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Edit per Colin. I like the lighter edit. Clegs (talk) 08:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose original, support edit. Original is ~~It's just a little~~ too dark ~~as it currently stands~~. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 23:55, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The lightened version is much better. Shows that the current version is not ideal. MathewTownsend (talk) 01:31, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Added a full size edit. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 21:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - And do you support or oppose the full-size edit? Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:01, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm the uploader - just wanted to note that this is not the full resolution work (the full version is 4.0 gigapixels and over a gigabyte in size, far too large for Commons or even to represent as a single JPEG file). However I do provide a download of the full original tile set on the file description page. I also prefer the brighter version and may consider globally moving existing uses to that one.

- Oh, I much prefer the lightened version as well. Whether or not it passes (unless the darker image is promoted), I'll be putting it in the article that I wrote mainly to allow this nom. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit: Very good, nothing of concern. Edit is an improvement. Julia\^talk 18:37, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
