Original – Picture of jultomte by Jenny Nyström
Reason
A lovely illustration by Jenny Nyström, who popularised the use of these jultomte as a Christmas tradition. Because there's no point getting our Christmas FPs out too near Christmas if we want them to run on Christmas. The filename uses the Norwegian spelling of Nyström's name, since it comes from the National Library of Norway. Feel free to point out any missed damage. It's a big file, and, while I've been diligent, it's always possible some was missed.

Arguable, but I'd say Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Religion and mythology should win out over Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Others.

I make eight: yellow, brown, blue, cyan, red, peach, grey, black. The greens and oranges are combinations. That's actually not too far off modern standards in a way. Might be a second grey. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.2% of all FPs 01:58, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, some inkjets use 6 or more colors - but standard lithography is just CMYK these days. What fascinates me is that this example shows hand-made half-toning screens. --Janke | Talk 08:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
