Suttungr and the dwarves

 * Reason:Another fine illustration of Norse mythology. It illustrates part of the story of the mead of poetry. Huard's art is particularly good - note the realism of the hands, which are usually considered the most difficult parts of anatomy to draw. The story itself is particularly violent, with a chain of deaths and cannibalism.

 * Support Seems similar like the one I voted for last week. Good restoration.  Zoo Fari  02:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's from the same series. I'm trying to space these out a bit, but, honestly, I have a tendency to forget about things if I delay too long. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 03:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: it looks as though it could do with rotation clockwise in the order of a couple of degrees. Seegoon (talk) 16:45, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Like most Victorian engravings, it's not perfectly square. This is the best fit I could find. If you look closely, the upper-right corner's border is "caved in" a little, the other three corners align quite well with the eges of the image. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 17:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: To me there seems to have been a slight blurring (or similar effect) applied when restoring this. When viewed at full extent, it is most noticeable. A fantastic restoration but I do find this blurring a distraction at full resolution. Sedd&sigma;n talk 04:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No blurring was applied. By the way, it's been 15 days. Is this ever going to close? Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 11:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
