 * I am not sure, this one is rather bluish - (?) but I really like this one. Honestly I don't know. This work has been a puzzle for me. I would like to know if anyone have been in the Louvre and have seen it. Hafspajen (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * We don't have a good copy of the Louvre one, I think. I've seen the two pictures side-by-side and the differences between them are quite marked - the poses are different as are the colours. I don't know whether the transfer of the French one from wood to canvas affected the colours, but they do look very different! - SchroCat (talk) 18:50, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
