Reason
Large image of a watercolor painting by a notable artist, relevant to multiple articles, lead image in History of coffee and Coffee culture. Note that the subject is identified as Princess Dunyazade in two articles but I believe that this may be mistaken so I'm not including those articles in the list below.
Articles in which this image appears
History of coffee, Coffee culture, Coffee, France-Turkey relations, History of Egypt under the Muhammad Ali dynasty, Women in Islam, John Frederick Lewis

I thought those might have been because of the artist's technique when he painted this but the more I look at this the more I agree with you. Withdraw. --Pine 18:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
