  • Support - like the crisp colors of the original --AtsmeConsult 03:45, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm just trying to learn: what is the primary goal here at FP? To have an image that looks as close as possible to the way the painting looks in the museum (with its aging, grime of decades, etc.), or to have an image that looks as close as possible to the way the painting looked when it was first painted? I've seen discussion of slight modifications to other images using software; are those modifications never acceptable? If we're honest, the one with the bright colors (original) is the most attractive, isn't it? If somebody could explain this to me, I'll be better informed for future voting.

  • There have been issues in the past with this. My own position is that well-done edits may be good, but we need to be able to refer to the actual painting, because in the end we're trying to show the painting as it is today. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:53, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did note that it was found late. I don't know. If this was mine, I'd just restart the nom, but... it's sorting itself out, I suppose. But if the original passes, there's a problem here, which is one of the reasons I don't like presenting options that shouldn't pass. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The painting is in a depot, and not hanging in the Rijksmuseum. The colours on the website are correct according the museum staff member. I checked both articles and added new information from Dutch websites. I had never heard of these two painters. It was interesting to read about. Regards.
