  • Support, but this should be in Artworks and paintings. He was pretty good, notice the glass of water. --I'ḏOne 21:22, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Possibly- he's an artist, and this is a self-portrait. It serves to illustrate both him and his style of painting. Note that I've added it to Portrait miniature. That said, it's in the article about him, not an article about the painting. I can see it from both sides. J Milburn (talk) 21:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The dimensions are right, and the detail is excellent (this being a smaller picture, that's commendable). However, there is a little speckling (what is that? Dust?) and the colours look like they may be a tad washed out. Thoughts? J Milburn (talk) 21:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly don't know, I haven't seen the painting in real life, but this is the original sources [1] that i cropped it from. Maybe it will give you any clues. P. S. Burton (talk) 01:41, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
