Support (having stumbled here from my FPC discussion page). High quality and high encyclopedic value. — Cirt (talk) 16:38, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support High-quality, even if the painting itself could be in better condition. Cleanup would likely be inappropriate. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:22, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support--Nice composition but could have been in a better condition.. The herald 14:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support A good scan, the painting itself is not in the best quality, but without a time machine... Mattximus (talk) 00:05, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That is one creepy picture, Crisco... The guy is green. Hafspajen (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, the Mona Lisa is yellow. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:31, 1 May 2014(UTC)

Oppose — Rembradt or no, it just doesn't grab me. Sca (talk) 01:35, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a reason to oppose; the paint has its own article, thus EV. Whether or not you find it engaging or aesthetic is irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.190.205 (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2014‎
