Original – Portrait of Mrs Richard Yates, 1793. She's sewing, but she's thinking about where to put that needle if you cross her.

Reason

Does she look like the sort of woman you should be messing with? Megahigh (that's two steps up from highest) EV, even if the painting is only in galleries and isn't in Gilbert Stuart's article (all taken up pictures with someone called George Wassingdon or something and a skater; I'm sure I can squeeze it into the gallery though)

Articles in which this image appears

Catherine Brass Yates, Mob cap, 1775–95 in Western fashion, Turban Head eagle (I wonder where I saw it? Godot13, any ideas?)

• Support, quite high level of quality, and agree with Belle on the high encyclopedic value, as well. — Cirt (talk) 20:36, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose. Am I missing something, here? I'm not really seeing much by way of EV. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:00, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

• Comment Oppose – Agree with Josh that EV is dubious. There seems to be some for Turban Head eagle, but it's largely speculative. Oppose, even though it's a Stuart. Sca (talk) 01:53, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
• Comment - This work has had some controversy which should (in addition to being a Stuart) make it notable enough for a short article. Right now it is in two galleries with no information. Something focusing on it (two or three good paragraphs to start) and it would have the EV it needs (IMO)...--Godot13 (talk) 04:29, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
• Support. Godot13, J Milburn, Sca, I have put up a stub at Catherine Brass Yates which goes a little way to providing EV. The article should provide the basis for something bigger, given the repute of the painting. - SchroCat (talk) 20:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

  Thanks- oppose struck. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

• Support based on new article EV...--Godot13 (talk) 18:19, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
