The Wrestlers (painting)
[edit]
- ... that the intense lighting of The Wrestlers (pictured) highlights the curves, musculature and sweat of the participants' naked bodies as they embrace and grapple?

Long enough, new enough, assuming no copyvio or plagiarism and the hook fact is cited as I can't see the book (online; I'm sure I could see it if it was in front of me; I have very good eyesight); QPQ done; neutral, well-written, interesting (making up my own criteria now). Should definitely go in the top spot with the image even though it is bit unclear at what's going on at DYK size (you have to look closely before you can make out you are getting an eyeful of glistening buttocks; that alone should qualify it).

- Might I suggest cropping the image for the DYK thumbnail? If you crop in about a third from the left and a third from the bottom, and identify it as "The Wrestlers (detail pictured)", you could still see the characteristics described, but the image would be more "readable" at the size.

- I'm reluctant. Cropping width-wide won't make the slightest difference, since DYK format is to have the longest dimension (in this case height) at 100px. Cropping vertically will either lose one of the wrestlers' heads, or both of their legs; this one doesn't really have any dead space to lose. – iridescent 17:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
