Support -- A drop dead gorgeous image from the newly revamped Mauritshuis.
- There is already a Featured Picture of this painting here at Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) - The Girl With The Pearl Earring (1665).jpg, but this image has several serious issues in my opinion 1 unsourced and undocumented 2 revoltingly saturated, our poor little meisje in the last throes of terminal hepatitis, and 3 (astonishingly) cropped at the right. An attempt by me to overwrite it with the new Mauritshuis was met with resistance from City Hall, so I am following the letter of the guidelines and offering a new file and a fresh nomination. This enterprising legacy high resolution file File:Johannes Vermeer - Girl with a Pearl Earring - WGA24666.jpg would also be worth attention were it not for the inauthentic rosy complexion, harbinger this time perhaps of the dreaded Plague so rampant in cities of the time not to mention the editor's personal preference in erm ... pink.
- Current project (City Hall permitting) is to engage with others writing up the Mauritshuis collection for Commons and I may bring some others here depending on the progress of this nomination Coat of Many Colours (talk) 17:41, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Comment I've requested a "rename" of the file and corrected once here, "Mauritshuis" instead of "Maurtishuis".--Jebulon (talk) 19:39, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
- Cheers. Thanks for that. My damn eyes and drinking too much I expect. Oh well. The Commons administratot will actually make the adjustment., It's really very difficult for me to cope with that kind of thing, so I would appreciate it if someone could make the adjustments for mew. I think stuff might have got lost here. 20:34, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Coat of Many Colours (talk)

- Well, it seems I ruffled feathers. I don't actually want to throw the egg out of the nest, pretty well past its sell-by date though it might be. They're flkying back by the way - great site!. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support Typically I am against de-listing and replace, but in the case of painting I am not opposed. Saffron Blaze (talk) 14:26, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delist and replace Much better than current FP. Yann (talk) 15:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
