 * Symbol question.svg Date and length OK, hook OK and confirmed by online reference, image out of copyright. A minor point; should not the date of the painting be 1875, rather than 1876? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:43, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, yes, you are correct. I was thinking about the exhibition (in '76) when writing the hook, but the painting itself was made in '75. I corrected the hook. Cmprince (talk) 16:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All fine now; thanks. (I've always been fascinated by this painting.) --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
