Overall: Only one comment really. The image is really eye-catching, but looking at Commons it appears the current version in use is not as detailed as the original version – while the current one has much greater contrast and is arguably stands out more, there is definitely more detail in the previous version. Should the purpose of the image's inclusion match the "hook" vibe of DYK (in which case I think the current picture is best), or should it be a faithful reproduction (in which case I think the original is more appropriate)?

Yes I would much rather prefer a more faithful reproduction of the painting than one that stands out more. I checked the official page of the painting on the Philadelphia Museum of Art's website, and their image of the painting seems to be the original version you linked above. I would like to switch the images, but I'm not sure how to use an older version of a Wikimedia image without reverting the image history. GeneralPoxter (talk) 16:17, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Hm it seems the Philadelphia Museum's image of the painting is of higher resolution than the current version on WikiMedia. Copyright policy of the museum states that "website content is protected by law", but would uploading this image to WikiMedia constitute fair use? GeneralPoxter (talk) 16:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Comment Not mentioned previously, but this is a prime candidate for a specific date (25 March)... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Interesting proposal RandomCanadian. @MIDI:, I changed the image out for a higher resolution alternative on WikiMedia Commons that appears to be a visual compromise between the original and current versions you linked above. Let me know what you think of the new image; I personally think it is acceptable. GeneralPoxter (talk) 18:41, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm very happy with that one – we've got both the clarity of the original and the 'punch' of the other one, so from my point of view it's good to go. MIDI (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
