QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Bruxton: New enough - draft started 1/22/23. Long enough at 2188 characters excluding the infobox and references. The Musee de Augustins reference is in French - no parlez vous Francais - AGF. Earwigs copyvio detector shows 0.0%. I like the first hook best. Recommend to only include in DYK with image. I added the french to english translation of the painting name and made some additional changes to the article. Can't help it... Dwkaminski (talk) 13:10, 24 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
