The Time source says that "it went on display in Manhattan" but does not mention the Museum of French Art.

Eddie891 and Pharos - I have a query about the sourcing for the hook in the article (see above). Everything else looks fine. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:51, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, BennyOnTheLoose, I've tweaked the sourcing and found a contemporary NYT article to supply some more detail. What do you think now? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:40, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meets the criteria IMO, including a QPQ. (I can't access the NYT article, but The Independent as cited in the article does support the hook.) Thanks, Eddie891. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:34, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
