 * Support. It looks to have been reproduced very professionally. One question, and excuse my ignorance of art, but it appears to have a lot of blue speckles throughout the image. Was this done deliberately by the painter, perhaps to add texture? Accidental contamination from at some point in the distant past? Dust? &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  10:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I was assuming reflections from spots where the paint has cracked (one of the reasons Google [notoriously] uses rather dark scans), but dust makes sense too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
