• 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? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
