- Reason
- This is not what you think of when you hear "van Gogh", and yet here it is. Honestly, it's a very original idea for a still life (even if it may have been derived from a Hokusai print)

- Oppose original – The colors of this scan are inaccurate (too green) and the image is cropped unnecessarily; I prefer the version on the website of the Van Gogh Museum: [1]. – Editør (talk) 08:14, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose original as above- it does seem that this version has been cropped. J Milburn (talk) 18:43, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: I have added the version from the Van Gogh Museum as an alt- I have no opinion right now. J Milburn (talk) 18:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
