The current FP
Proposed replacement
Edited version
Reason
The current FP was promoted about 16 years ago, and still is a good one. But there is a better file with sharper and higher res scan of the original, that is already used in the main subject article as lead image, as well as multiple other important articles. The proposed replacement is also the one closer to the original colors of the painting.
Articles this image appears in
about 70 articles
Articles the proposed replacement appears
Act (drama), Life of William Shakespeare, Outline of William Shakespeare, Shakespeare bibliography and William Shakespeare

Not exactly my area of expertise, but summoning Adam Cuerden for a review, please. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For whatever reason, paintings are usually considered off-limits, even when the lighting is going to emphasise or de-emphasize the cracks and dust. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 12:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. And BTW, the Beethoven pic was a case in point, IMO. -- Sca (talk) 14:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mean the cracks, which are on the painting, but the white dots, which aren't. Yann (talk) 13:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made a new version, cleaning some white spots. Yann (talk) 18:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
