 * Comment I haven't seen the actual painting to compare, but it looks bleached. Maybe some saturation is warranted. Brand meister talk   11:16, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll see if Google Art Project has the image. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:01, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Support alt - the one labeled "True original" has better coloring. Clegs (talk) 08:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support More concerned about which is correct. The virtual tour of the museum shows the painting with colours like the first image here. I'll support whichever is the more correct. Saffron Blaze (talk) 00:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support alt I'm going to assume that the NPG took the care to get the colours right. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support alt: colour detail is much better. Julia\talk  22:24, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
