  • Eh... It's pretty low resolution. Artifact's fascinating, but the dull gradiant background and the image being just 1,181 pixels high (and that with a decent amount of empty foreground) is hard to get past. It's also a little JPEG-artifacty if you zoom in a bit. I did some tests, and (given the generated file size) it looks like the quality was set in the 75-80% range, which is a bit low.

      It would be great if the Brooklyn Museum could come up with a more high-res. pic. -- Sca (talk) 12:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
