•  Support Great scan. What about the NPG lawsuit, though? -- JovanCormac 16:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Question It looks very very dark - does the original painting really look this way? -- H005 16:21, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
  • It's called low key lighting. --Ernie (talk) 16:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
    • That's a photographic style, not of artwork of the 18th century. -- H005 17:10, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
      • There is another scan of this painting. -- Tseno Maximov (talk) 19:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
    • Actually, it's called chiaroscuro. Low-key lighting is a photographic technique designed to recreate the chiaroscuro effect in a photograph. -- JovanCormac 20:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose However you call it, I believe this image hides too many details of the original painting. -- H005 22:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Much too dark. See the other scan mentioned above. Yann (talk) 17:22, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
