  •  Comment Really giant resolution – so giant that even on machines with much RAM browsers often display just a low-resolution preview. The same applies to each of the single tiles. Use the zoom viewer (if it works) or download the file in order to appreciate the details. However there is a little problem: The file does not contain a colour profile (not even a colour space hint). I wanted to add it, but before doing so one would need to know the correct colour space – and in this case it is hard to guess it; with sRGB the colours look very faded and greenish, with AdobeRGB they look better, but still too dark, etc. The same problem applies also to the single tiles. This version is scaled down, but still big, and offers a defined colour space and better colours, but I wonder whether they are accurate. Could anybody who knows this paining himself (or owns a good reliable reproduction) comment on the colours and brightness of the original painting? Thanks. --Aristeas (talk) 15:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The bright version shows the details well, but the red and blue clothes are too pale. [1] --Thi (talk) 15:41, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
