• Support as nominator --Sir Richardson (talk) 21:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
• Support Striking portrait. Clean scan. Excellent job of photoshopping for legitimate encyclopedic purpose and aesthetic effect. Greg L (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
• Comment File lacks source information. Makeemlighter (talk) 22:05, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
• Comment: Some more details about the original would be nice- dimensions? Where is it? As a further note, has this been restored in some way? Or are there multiple versions of the same painting? Or what? I'd like to support this, but we appear to be missing some key information. J Milburn (talk) 10:29, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
• Comment Original now shown, source provided. Sir Richardson (talk) 15:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Still no source on the image page. Additionally, precisely what restoration work was done (and who by) really needs to be specified. J Milburn (talk) 17:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Note that "original" is a scan out of a book/magazine, it shows clearly the halftoning, and that is one reason the colors are so off. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 17:28, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
• Comment Like J Milburn said, we really need more information. The 'restored' version is not a digital restoration of the 'original'. It's definitely a different scan altogether. Request nominator consult with the uploader to sort this out before proceeding. Note: if digital restoration by a user has taken place, this would need to be documented.
