 * This is the image that is currently available at the museum website and is more recent than the existing FP. As to your questions, I don't know. MER-C 16:24, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Replace First looks like the typica result from auto-levels on a darker image. Replacement is more authorative. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.6% of all FPs 17:03, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Replace. I think we have to go with the authoritative colors over something that appears prettier but may not match the artist's intent or execution. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:18, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
