- Reason
- High resolution, useful as our current FP depicts the artist as a young man, whereas this shows him as he was towards the end of his life (he died three years after this was completed).

- Support and as a minature it is well made, it is very difficult painting so well on a tiny size like this. Hafspajen (talk) 09:21, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Support - Extraordinary quality given the size.--Godot13 (talk) 06:18, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Comment The cropping of the frame is a bit strange; it's not cropped for the most part so you can see the background at the rounding of the corners but is cropped inside the edge of the frame as it approaches the top righthand corner and bottom lefthand corner. I don't think it should be enough to disqualify it, but if the frame isn't important enough to show completely it might be better not to show it at all ([sound of framers weeping] Ignore them, it's their own fault, they should have checked the frame was square).
