 * Question what are the ground rules for Notablity of artworks? Are there specific rules, separate from GNG? --Theredproject (talk) 17:17, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Other than GNG, I believe that any work of art collected by a national gallery is default notable. A national gallery is the artistic version of an encyclopedia. Mccapra (talk) 17:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * See also sources discussing this work and related pieces as masterpieces of Dutch painting, so it passes GNG. Mccapra (talk) 17:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: I have added the Rijksmuseum entry as a reference for this particular painting and adjusted the National Gallery reference (previously for another painting) to support the biographical info. Collection in a major national gallery is sufficient for notability. AllyD (talk) 19:29, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As per previous comments. Zoozaz1 (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above comments. I believe the artwork should be considered notable.Aven13 16:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
