Retouched image?

Latest comment: 4 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It seems odd that the header image for this painting is of a digitally retouched version of the painting. Why would we not want to use an image of the actual painting as it appears in real life? User:Jonwilliamsl(talk|contribs) 13:01, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Looks pretty close to the condition of the painting, see the 2023 crowd shot here. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
