Original – Tromp-l'oeil of a goldfinch created by Carel Fabritius in 1654 shortly before he was tragically blown to bits. Lost for many years, it was recently brought to wider attention by being a plot device in Donna Tartt's Pulitzer winner.

Reason

Meets all the criteria and the article on the painting will probably be FA shortly, so it would be nice to make a set. Have a read of the article, it's fascinating stuff.

• Support. Good scan of high-EV painting. For a photo this would not be high-res by modern standards but it's good enough in this instance to capture the details of the brushwork, so I don't think it's a problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:47, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
