- Comment I've taken the liberty of rescaling the thumbnail a bit; it is a rather wide landscape. Also, because of the confusion lately about my works - this isn't one I worked on, I just think that really good painting reproductions should be seen on our front page. (It ain't one Durova worked on either.) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support It don't need working on, it's a superb example of "golden age" painting, despite some tiny marks etc. Incidentally, great EV for period costume. More like this! mikaultalk 12:42, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Long story. Suffice it to say that I figured I'd better disclaim involvement, lest, in an attempt to make up for crediting my works to others on WP:FP, they began presuming others' work was mine. =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
