- Support as nominator – Hafspajen ( talk) 19:37, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support and I have modified the thumbnail to 1000 px from 1,00,000 px Godhulii 1985 ( talk) 22:07, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support — Another Vermeer that is almost photographic, before the age of the camera, yet is somehow ethereal too. Sca ( talk) 23:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Question - This is clearly not from the Yorck project. What is the actual source? — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 23:57, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Help me find out. Permission? Hafspajen ( talk) 00:56, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, let me be clearer. This version of the scan is not from the Yorck project. The version uploaded on May 21, 2005, was. This version almost looks like a Google scan. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:34, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- But it's not. This is. The Google version has better colors too, I think. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:36, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Crisco. Note that original is used in the articles. Hafspajen ( talk) 11:55, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- I don't remember what the actual source of this image is. It definitely is not Yorck, they only provide mediocre scans of artwork. Usually, I include the source in the exif-data, but once in a while I receive an image from someone else, and then I don't have a source. I can't remember where this image came from.

- I'd go with Google's version, to be honest. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 16:08, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hafspajen proposed a certain painting, which already has been voted for. It is not possible to suddenly change the image. I would say both paintings enter this poll. Let the people decide which one they like best. Jan Arkesteijn( talk) 18:55, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Jan, it's perfectly possible to include both images for voting. I never said otherwise, nor did I say Hafs should withdraw the nom. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:32, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

- Jan, please try to find out that source of this image. Otherwise we might need to delist it, right. We need to know that it has a free licence. Otherwise it is impossible to make it into a FP, I think. It is all in the history... Just go back to your first edit and search... Hafspajen ( talk) 23:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- It goes without saying that is has a free license. The author died in 1675. After 339 years the image is certainly in the public domain. Jan Arkesteijn ( talk) 23:57, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- OK. I don't now. Leave things now to Crisco.

- Yes, nobody is disputing this is free (if I were doing that, there'd be a deletion discussion somewhere). The issue is a featured picture should show Wikipedia's best work. An incorrect source does not fit my definition of "best".
- OK. I don't now. Leave things now to Crisco.

- Support ALT1: ALT1 has better colors and more resolution. Could be cropped, but as the edges of the canvas aren't quite straight it's not necessary in my opinion. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 00:32, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sigh, I succeded to find a movie here, [1] - and the original is actually looks like it is closer though to Vermeer's painting... About sources, I don't know... I am just good at aesthetics, don't know much about the legal side. Hafspajen ( talk) 00:42, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support, lean Alt 1 Adam Cuerden ( talk) 00:12, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support. High quality and historic value as well. — Cirt ( talk) 16:41, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support, Alt1 - The definition looks better to me in the ALT. SagaciousPhil - Chat 05:29, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Support Alt1 — Re inquiry from Armbrust — although I'd be fine with either one. Sca ( talk) 23:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: I like both, but I Support Alt1 as a bit better. — Cirt ( talk) 15:16, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
