  • Support Looks good photo-wise and great painting. Could be even stronger if the stub went into detail of the different parts of the painting (which is very busy with figures) to explain it more.TCO (talk) 20:21, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question good scan but the article lacks refs. How notable is this work? --Pine 07:04, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • GIYF (kidding). Pageviews is 383, not great but individual artworks have this...that said, this is not the Mona Lisa. Bellows was one of 5 painters notable for being part of the Ash Can School (a modern art trend). His page views is 9145 (well above my thumb rule of 3000 equating to half-likelihood of heard of it). This is one of his most famous paintings (perhaps Jack Dempsey getting knocked out is more famous). Barrons prep for AP US History, lists this painting getting done as one of the notable events of 1913. Google Search came up with sources for article; will add some. One of the arty people could tell you more.TCO (talk) 12:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
