Davies (1931), p. 241

[edit]

The article cites Davies (1931), p. 241. The year should be 1934 - as in the Sources section. A jstor link would help those readers who have access: {{jstor|865743}} which produces: JSTOR 865743. Aa77zz (talk) 21:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of painting's subject: Family and Death

[edit]

I propse adding one or two sections on the Galard's family and her death. My initial thoughts were to put this into an independent article about the person, but the draft was declined Special:PermanentLink/942209290:

On 18 June 1845, Galard married Albert de Broglie, the 28th Prime Minister of France. They had five children:

Galard contracted tuberculosis in her early 30s. She died in 1860 in Cannes, Gard, Languedoc-Roussillon, France.

Any feedback on the following? It is my preference for the painter's subject to have her own article instead of merging her biographical details into this article about the painting. Any comments? - DutchTreat (talk) 18:44, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Date of painting

[edit]

I'm a bit confused as to why the article says that the painting was "completed between 1851 and 1853" when, elsewhere in the article, two precise years are given that agree on just one year--- 1853.

Since the subject of the painting was born in 1825 and "she was aged 28 at the time of its completion" (exact wording from the article), when you add her age to the year she was born, you get 1853.

Then, the painting itself "is signed and dated 1853" (again, exact wording from the article). With this alone, why is any year range even considered?

So, with not only knowing both her age and the year on the painting, and the exact wording in the article, again, why is any year range even considered or mentioned?

Or, am I missing something? 2600:8800:785:9400:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 01:18, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the wrong verb is used here ("completed between"); it should simply said "painted". (CC) Tbhotch 01:28, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
