• This painting has some proportion- problems again, like some of Rembrandt's paintings and drawings, the shoulders are un-proportionally small compared to the body and head, she looks like laboratory flask - but alas the shield is really great, so having said that, still support. ^{Only wish Rembrandt would have been more serious when taking drawing lessons.} Hafspajen (talk) 11:34, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
• Support – good scan with sufficient overall EV; she's certainly not depicted as the most attractive of models ... SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:16, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
