Oppose. When photographs of him exist, I'm not sure that a piece of artwork which is not-so-reflective of reality (and yes, I'm aware of the philosophical issues with that line) is the best way to represent him. This isn't quite the same as, for instance, Edward I. (Or, for a modern example, Max Stirner.) J Milburn (talk) 15:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: as I see it, images like this are either useful because they a) illustrate the subject of the painting or b) the painting itself is important, eg. particularly reflective of a particular style, or noteworthy of itself. I agree with Mr Milburn that the image's value under a) is strained and the case hasn't been made for use under b). Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 15:32, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No attempt at an article on this painting has been made as of yet. I added it to the artist's article as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
