 * Support as co-nominator – a very interesting painting. This is the guy who painted the Laughing Fool.jpg Laughing Fool. Hafspajen (talk) 00:04, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - I think his painting style and technique improved. This painting is dated 1550 and The Laughing Fool is dated c. 1500. I'm confused by the caption. The artist is van Oostsanen, right? Is he painting himself painting his wife? Then what is "by Dirck Jacobsz"? Are you saying that the portrait of his wife in this painting is by another artist? Was it a separate, pre-existing painting by Jacobsz, and van Oostsanen was just copying it? If so, wow! CorinneSD (talk) 00:57, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Fixed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It is not a bit complicated. -it is (as the article states too) a painting of a son, also painter, painting his parents. (Jacobs meaning Jacob's son) Hafspajen (talk) 01:37, 11 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Support I agree with Hafspajen. This painting is even more intriguing because of what Hafs said. It sort of reminds me of another painting. Same sort of concept. There is a little girl sat down in front of a big television, She is watching a scary horror movie, but she watches the movie not by looking at the television screen. She has a good sized hand mirror. She only watches the movie as it appears in the mirror. She figures the monsters cannot travel into the mirror and then get to her. It is a very multi-dimensional theme much like this painting.  Cheers!     WordSeventeen (talk) 02:34, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
