 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is short enough and interesting enough.  I was not able to access p. 273 of the Wildman book, but assume good faith.  Article appears to be compliant with core policies based on spot-checking. And copyvio detector says "no violations detected."  No QPQ required as this is not a self-nom.  Image has appropriate public domain tag (license for photo; 1888 painting is PD).  Cbl62 (talk) 04:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * thank you both very much, but I may have been unclear. The hook suggests that Howard commissioned the painting, which isn't correct.  Perhaps a hook referencing Andrew Lloyd Weber donating the painting to the museum instead? -PKM (talk) 05:02, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Another review is needed. SL93 (talk) 06:44, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
