  • @Spaully: The original source, which is a much higher quality image, doesn't have it. See here. While I understand that there should be recognition, it would be hard to patch in the signature without noticeably lowering the quality of the image. Plenty of the featured paintings on Wikipedia have no signature in them, as seen here. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:31, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose I'm not sure I see the EV for this painting. It is in de Nansouty's page, but it is not of him. There is no mention of this painting in any of the pages, and the painting itself does not have a page. Also, does the original also cut off the end of the author's signature? It's possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattximus (talkcontribs) 02:14, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
