Reason: High resolution upload of a famous painting; target article is FA. I confess I'm not an expert on color grading but this version appears to be superior to the other ones I found in a quick Google Image search. I can't tell if the faint color-banding in the lower left is an aspect of the canvas or a fault in the reproduction.

Oppose - Crushed blacks, overly contrasty shadows. Strange horizontal lines. Is this really the best version available? --Janke | Talk 11:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The painting is 23.4 feet wide, so at 5,872 × 4,008 pixels, the scan resolution is 21 pixels per inch. That's low. For a painting, fine details are lost at that resolution. I say 40+ pixels per inch can be Ok. Bammesk (talk) 12:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Screen resolution is 72 dpi. MER-C 16:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to accept that very large paintings may have a low dpi because they're very large. However, I expect better than "Unknown source" for an image of a painting at FPC. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 19:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
