Reason: Not only this free work is of a pretty good technical standard and suitable resolution, it is used in various articles showing its EV. This oil painting depicts the culture & history of Nowruz ceremony.
Articles in which this image appears: Nowruz, Goldfish.

Oppose – This being en-WP, use in non-English articles doesn't count. It is used in one article here but the EV is weak, see FP criterion #5. It doesn't contribute to or enhance the article in a definitive way. For example if the article or its subsections did cover Nowruz related art, then it could have EV. On a sidenote: the image was added to the article on March 22, FP criterion #5 suggests waiting at least 7 days. Bammesk (talk) 02:58, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Bammesk, does not appear to have sufficient EV in any English Wikipedia article. (t · c) buidhe 05:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
EV: @Bammesk and Buidhe: I would like to turn your kind attention towards the fact that, among other things, the painting contains goldfish, water bowl and Sabze, all being the parts of the Haft-sin custom. The painting is depicting these things in an artistic manner. Actually this painting includes "Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and the three life forms of Humans, Animals and Plants." So I guess it is indeed adding to the understanding of the readers hence has EV. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:19, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The image is primarily an artistic depiction, rather than an informative depiction. The text of the article(s) don't delve into art though. Bammesk (talk) 03:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout the human history, the best method for describing (giving information) on cultural events/symbols had near always been via art. I don't get the point why you say this symbolic painting does not have encyclopedic value. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:44, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is a lovely painting, though not terribly informative (EV). Also, this digital rendition of the painting is not that high-quality. (Unsharp at full res etc.) Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
