Original – Fly duet from Jacques Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers with Jeanne Granier as Eurydice and Eugène Vauthier as Jupiter. 1887 revival.

Alt 1: Submitted for your approval: A colourised version. Wilfredor researched costumes and tried to get as accurate colours as possible, and I really like his work. There's a little speculation in colourisation, though. On the other hand, it makes the image much easier to interpret at a glance.

Reason

A really fun - and particularly daring for 1887! - photo of a ridiculous scene in a ridiculous opera. The wings are drawn on in multiple versions of this image; I presume the real ones didn't photograph well with the long shots of the time. Really encyclopædic for the scene.

• Support I know there is a lot of speculation with the colors, maybe it is a destructive version because we will never know exactly how it looked (since the colors of the garments can change even in events of the same work), but thank you very much for proposing it Wilfredor (talk) 12:35, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
