• Oppose, it's an OK scan. Even if the painting has merits it should have a extra-ordinary scan. gren グレン 00:48, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The scan is comparable to the scans of these featured pictures Image:Orlando Furioso 20.jpg, Image:VanGogh-starry night ballance1.jpg, and Image:Charlotte Corday.jpg. – Ilse@ 07:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
    • That's only something I could compare if I knew original size of the images. gren グレン 17:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
