 * Support - Well-known, quality image to illustrate both its own article and that of the artist.--Godot13 (talk) 03:10, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - Good, but do you think to have some quality increased till it makes up to this level? I say about the color, forget the resolution  The herald  11:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you think that's an improvement? Looks like someone threw it in Photoshop and cranked up the saturation by 15 or so. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:35, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Its not the saturation am talkin' about buddy. Its the quality and color. May be above par in your eyes, but better in mine.Think about it.  The herald  13:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You mean the discolorations along the bottom that look like a cheap art book scan? No. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:12, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Millet was like this - he wanted to paint with "boring" colours. He called that realism. Hafspajen (talk) 14:33, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, Hafspajen got it right. I'm not criticising Crisco, but as a human, I feel the colored one better. Hate realism... The herald  07:31, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Eh, can't say I like it either. Let others nominate those... Hafspajen (talk) 17:40, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Support Iconic. My granny had a reproduction on her wall, colors looked just as "muddy" as this. --Janke | Talk 20:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Support -- the original looks pretty nice to me. I am not a fan of colors but I do color paintings ;)  Bellus Delphina     talk   09:06, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
