Original – Set design for Act III of Daniel Auber's Gustave III
Reason
Not sure why this failed to reach quorum last month. There's examples - I should prepare one - of the process from this sort of thing to a 3D maquette (and presumably to stage, but the actual stages were rarely photographed; you sometimes got newspaper impressions) and they're clearly stages of a design process, so it's pretty fair to call this a set design.

  • My oppose here is because I don't think we should be nominating again so soon. There isn't rule against it but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it. I saw your explantion on the first nomination but my comment still stands: 'This is the artist's signed watercolour which was presumably used for the set design. It is not the set design.' So the problem is not the EV of the image, it is the description which the rules say 'Properly identifies the main subject'. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean, I don't see how it's any different than any other illustration of the set design. People know it's not a photograph of the stage. Do you disagree that Gallica labels it as a set design? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 15:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
