Oppose Unfortunately the 'e' of the painters name has been cropped from the image, this version [1] shows not by much but it would seem unfair to promote an image without adequate recognition of the original artist. If rectified I would switch to support. |→ Spaully ^τ 16:12, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Spaully: The original source, which is a much higher quality image, doesn't have it. See here. While I understand that there should be recognition, it would be hard to patch in the signature without noticeably lowering the quality of the image. Plenty of the featured paintings on Wikipedia have no signature in them, as seen here. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:31, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

oppose I'm not sure I see the EV for this painting. It is in de Nansouty's page, but it is not of him. There is no mention of this painting in any of the pages, and the painting itself does not have a page. Also, does the original also cut off the end of the author's signature? It's possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattximus (talk • contribs) 02:14, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattximus: Just because their is no article of it doesn't mean one can't be created. I am currently working on making a page for it. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 06:26, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattximus: I have created an article for the image. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 12:59, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
