- Reason
- This close-up view on the bottom left portion of a roughly nine-century old hanging scroll painting is a perfect example of Song Dynasty era Chinese artwork. It is 1,254 × 1,450 pixels in size, and as far as I know violates none of the mandatory criteria for FP status.

- Oppose. Given that this image is a detail of a larger work, the cropping should be more careful. Spikebrennan (talk) 01:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- How so? What was not "careful" about the cropping job?--Pericles of AthensTalk 07:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose It is an unfortunately tight crop and whereas I'd not be too fussed about that if it was a "a perfect example" in this case it ain't. It may be slightly higher resolution than some at Commons, but we do have better examples of this artist's work, let alone paintings of this era. This one, for example, is much more featurable, despite being lower res. --mikaultalk 09:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
