QPQ: Done.

Overall: Firstly, nice work by the nominator. Article meets eligibility criteria. Has been created within the last 10 days. The image is a classic, and is sourced to the GOI's open digital license. Image is good to go to the mainpage. Earwig shows no issues with copyvio. I am assuming good faith on some of the offline sources used in the article. Have no reasons to suspect any of those. The hook itself is interesting. Noting a few edits that will be required below. Article can do with some edits, I will note them below as well. Once the hook is remedied, I think this is good to go. Notes follow. Ktin (talk) 18:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC) Notes:

  • Hook:
    • The hook states poor graceful women. Correct me if I am wrong, but, this seems to be a subjective interpretation of the painting's title. I would recommend switching back to the painting's title or if the artist herself has referenced this painting by a different name, we can use that one.
  • Article lede:
    • The second part of the lede appears a tad WP:PROSELINE and can be tightened. e.g., currently it reads In xxxx, ... In xxxx, ... etc.
    • Minor - can we also introduce what the painting is about in the lede itself?
  • Article body:
    • Can the composition section be augmented with any interpretation / notes that the artist might have mentioned about the work itself? Given that Sher-Gill is a relatively modern artist, do we have any notes from interviews etc? Currently, the section ends abruptly with one of the women's lips appearing to be pouting.
    • Do we have any notes about where the painting currently resides?

@Whispyhistory: Overall, this is nice work. Handing it back to you for some tweaks. Ktin (talk) 18:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Ktin:. Adjusted hook and will check rest soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

  • ALT1 looks good. Let me know when some of the edits are done. Will mark this hook as approved. Ktin (talk) 08:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Made a minor edit to note that the stamp is being pictured rather than the painting. Marking ALT1b as approved. Ktin (talk) 17:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Note to promoting admin / editor. Given the work, I would recommend that we wait for a picture slot to promote this hook with the image, unless the nominator thinks otherwise. Ktin (talk) 17:45, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
@Ktin:... Thank you for reviewing. Is it any better now please? Whispyhistory (talk) 17:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Nice work. Good to go. Ktin (talk) 03:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
