Substantial list, prose expansion sufficient, fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook idea works for me, but I don't really see the child sucking in that size. The dancing Anitra would much more recognizable, and connect to the later eurhythmic dances. Could you give us a rewording and other image? I think Anitra might be even known and not need to be piped. - Only at this point was I reminded that the dancing Anitra was already on DYK, pictured, and up for FAC, so will come again. Any other pic to show? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:53, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda Arendt. As you say, The Dance of Anitra would be the work shown if not for its recent appearance. This source supports the part about the child sucking its thumb. Another work we could show is this one, though I don’t think the photo is as good. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:27, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

understand, and prefer the child. The image is licensed, and adds a human touch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:36, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda Arendt. With this discussion in mind, I've just created Meditation (Maryon). What do you think about making this a double hook—linking "a child sucking its thumb" to the new article, and making it bold? Assuming you agree, I'll just need to do a second QPQ, which I can take care of tomorrow. Cheers, --Usernameunique (talk) 01:47, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

waking up: sure you can do it, - I linked to the article. I wonder, though, if you would prefer to give the sculpture with the interesting title its own DYK chance, with a hook about just that (instead of a double hook. If yes, you may want to run this without that image, perhaps without any image, - it's interesting by the words already. What do you think? - In the new article, I think "young child" is not precise enough for one that looks like a toddler, I miss "naked", and I miss the quirky contrast to the title. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:47, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda Arendt. I've gone ahead and created a separate nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Meditation (Maryon). --Usernameunique (talk) 20:12, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, and approving this one without image. I also struck the 2nd qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:17, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
