- Now that the original painting was shown, my suspicion about the lack of detail was confirmed and enhanced. --Paolo Costa (talk) 14:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Oppose – Pleasing to the modern eye, but not an accurate representation of the original art. Healy was a classically-trained draftsman who painted in traditional academic style. In this version the shadow areas are filled to maximum density, obscuring all shape and detail in the clothes and losing the separation between figure and background – certainly not Healy's style. SteveStrummer (talk) 21:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)- Oppose as per SteveStrummer. Yann (talk) 13:29, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose – That's the original file, not the original painting. Other files like this, while perhaps not perfect, at least show what's missing. SteveStrummer (talk) 18:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
