 * Comment. The figures around the dead man seem very pale. Maybe someone here has seen the original painting recently, and would be able to comment? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 01:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This image comes from the National Library of the Netherlands and originates from The Hague. Although I can't comment on the color balance, it was the most reliable source archive I could locate.  Durova Charge! 02:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
