New Article Evaluation[edit]

Overall impressions[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
  • How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation[edit]

I could not find a draft in your sandbox so I am peer reviewing the main article to see how it could be improved. I think splitting the article into the history of the painting and a description of the painting is a good idea. The content seems neutral which is good. There doesn't seem to be much you can add to the description, but I think you could definitely find more to add to the history. For example, maybe you can add information about the artist who made this piece. In addition to this, maybe information about why he made it or who he made it for would be helpful.
