 * ... that the Portrait of Olivia Boteler Porter (pictured) was identified as being by 17th century painter Anthony van Dyck after it was discovered on a website?

 * It was created March 10, has 1689 characters, interesting hook, and the citations check out. van Dyck was a 17th century painter however, so the hook should be corrected before I tag this for promotion. Otherwise, nice work.  Ruby  2010/  2013  23:07, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I'm usually better than including typos in the DYK hooks themselves! Thank goodness for your eagle eyes. :) Miyagawa (talk) 10:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think a better hook would be "...after a photo of it was posted on a website?" rather than "after it was discovered on a website" because the current photo is *after* restoration (after discovery). Also, the original PCF photo should be included in the article, as this was the photo that triggered the discovery, not the cleaned up one now on show. Jane (talk) 12:27, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Alt1:... that the Portrait of Olivia Boteler Porter (pictured) was identified as being by 17th century painter Anthony van Dyck after a photo of it was discovered on a website?
 * I don't have access to the PCF version of the image - presumably, it'd be in the books they produced. The version on the website is the cleaned up version. Miyagawa (talk) 13:07, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I searched too, but I found a piece of it here so I will upload a before&after pic of just the face. Jane (talk) 13:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Great. I'll stop messing around trying to get a decent screengrab off iPlayer. :) Miyagawa (talk) 13:59, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks good! I noticed there's another pic on the talk page, which would be good to include, but I can't see where it's from?? lowres picture cabinet isn't showing any results for me on search. Jane (talk) 14:12, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that'd be better on a different article for that painting, as it is of a different painting. If it was an article on the actual person, then I'd totally agree that both should be on there. Miyagawa (talk) 15:53, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Everything checks out with ALT1 hook, so I have struck original hook. Interesting piece.  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  11:56, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
