Comment The image is plainly inauthentic. It comes from the National Gallery but the 2010 uploader saturated the image to his taste and also compressed it. It is actually quite unpleasant. Successive editors have done their bit improving it. I can not upload a new version (account too new?), so I made a new file. I can remember giving up a week's pocket money back in 1961 to help buy this painting for the nation. I would appreciate if we can feature the real thing. There's a Goya exhibition at the National Gallery right now incidentally. Hafsterix (talk) 00:24, 23 October 2015 (UTC)- Strike !vote of sockpuppet, and remove the image added by them.
