 * Support as nominator -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:46, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, good scene, but slightly soft at full size IMO. Brandmeistertalk  21:28, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That might be the painting, not the photo. I'm really not sure; I only do watercolours myself, and it looks a bit like effects you commonly get in watercolours, but I don't know if that happens with oils ever. It's a rather unusual technique, anyway. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:48, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Very nice. Alborzagros (talk) 15:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose--a poor example of pre-Raphaelite art by a very minor painter. You'd better off picking Google Art images at random. Boo-Boo Baroo (talk) 23:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support If this really is Lee's masterpiece, with a possible self portrait of the artist, then this has EV. However, I agree that it's quite soft and, without seeing the painting to see if it's in the original, I can't put myself behind it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Neutral per Crisco. --Pine✉ 18:24, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose It's a soft image and the above EV issues. Cat-five  t  c   11:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose As above (more or less), bad painting by very minor artist. Inclusion in List of Pre-Raphaelite paintings is inappropriate when there are no illustrations of well known paintings - are lists supposed to be illustrated? ProfDEH (talk) 12:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
