- I think this needs a little restoration, which I'm willing to do, but it also looks difficult, so it might be slow. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 16:00, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- I do believe that we should digitally restore photos but only physically conserve paintings and drawings. The presented one is in a very good condition and I am not sure what you want to adjust here. --Andrei (talk) 16:57, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Isn't this a lithograph? It rather looks like one. Also, the colours look a bit off for any medium. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.9% of all FPs 17:02, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- File info says it is a "watercolor", and I don't see any signs of it being a litho. Some small hairs suggest that this is a scan of a transparency (probably medium or large format), thus the slight graininess - a lot less than would be expected from the stone of a litho print. --Janke | Talk 06:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Aye. Just presumed it was a hand-coloured etching or a slightly-too-low-res scan of a lithograph. I guess that justifies it, but I can't help but thinking the colours look off, and it's slightly cut off on the lower right hand side.
