Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Mathematicians Legendre and Fourier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - 1820 watercolor portrait of French mathematicians Adrien-Marie Legendre and Joseph Fourier by Julien-Leopold Boilly.
Reason
Only known picture of Adrien-Marie Legendre, so the EV is indubitable. The picture is also very eye-catching and significantly adds to the article (a crop of it is used as the leading image for the Legendre article).
