My question is — Is she frying, poaching or basting? Target article says, "The boiling pan is particularly well-captured, with its spitting oil.... (My emphasis.) Bing translates the Spanish title's verb merely as cooking. Sca (talk) 14:33, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Frying; Bing is wrong. Freir is to fry; cocinar to cook (other languages and cooking methods available on request). Belle (talk) 15:17, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's that lovely Spanish frying method which is a cross between shallow and deep frying; it makes everything yummy and calorific (full of calories not heat). Belle (talk) 15:22, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't like the caption (if it is going to play any future part). Saying "This genre painting" makes it look as if there are others. Change to "The genre painting" or simply reword: ...is a genre painting in oils on canvas by Diego Velázquez. Depicting an old woman frying eggs, it is held at the Scottish National Gallery. I also wonder how many more works from the Google art project will be displayed on the front page. The images are good but so are many outside the Google field of competence.--Ipigott (talk) 18:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The main page caption (which, considering the average queue time, we won't have to worry about until early 2017) will not be the same as the caption here. The caption here is just for FPC !voters, so that they know what the image they are reviewing is. As for the Google question: we've actually got FPs from a wide variety of sources. Among the more commons sources are the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Prado in Madrid. I'm always on the lookout for museum web pages hosting high resolution files. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:36, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
