  • Comment I'm sure Lucretia is "called one of the best Rembrandts in the United States" but the only ref here is a museum publication from 1922, which I can't see. Also chunks of the article should be integrated into Minneapolis Institute of Art (not a DYK requirement). Johnbod (talk) 15:35, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Johnbod. You're right I neglected a citation. It's there now! P.S. Moved some to the MIA article. There's an argument for moving the gallery but I don't know the context well enough to do that (MIA may have several or many million dollar donors). -SusanLesch (talk) 14:16, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no close paraphrasing. Both the hooks are acceptable, with inline citations, but I would go for the original hook as in ALT1 it is not readily apparent which article the hook is about.
