Yes, this is my second nomination GeneralPoxter (talk) 22:08, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand the lead per WP:LEAD. I have also added a "citation needed" tag to one of the facts. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:38, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I made edits and expansions according to your suggestions. GeneralPoxter (talk) 03:10, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GeneralPoxter: Thank you. More could also be added to the lead about the composition of the painting. The lead is meant to function as a mini-article, telling the reader all that will be discussed in greater detail in the body of the article. But it's okay as a start-class article. Restoring tick per Buidhe's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:13, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone concerned about the offline/paywall citation, I think I made a mistake in linking the source. It should be freely accessible now. GeneralPoxter (talk) 02:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
