I don't know enough about art to say for certain which image is preferable. Thus, I am submitting both images that we have on commons. 4 of the 5 different language versions of the article use the one on the right.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:49, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- The hook sentence is sourced to Fox News which is often considered unreliable.
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- The hook states the value in US$ when the transaction appears to have been in Euro (€). Per MOS:€ the Euro has equal standing with the dollar and is more appropriate in this case, being the actual currency used.
Image eligibility:
- Freely licensed:
- Used in article:
- We should go with the version of the picture used in the English language article.
- Clear at 100px:
QPQ: Done. |
Overall: It's a good artistic topic which should naturally be run in a picture hook slot. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:30, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

- user:Andrew Davidson, regarding the image, do you think the current image for the ENWP version is the correct image to be using in the article though? I was kind of looking for an opinion in that regard.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:23, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Is the unreliability of FOX News related to its presentation of political issues from a conservative perspective? I thought is was reliable for apolitical subjects such as sports or art.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:50, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- ALT1b ... that when Boating Party (pictured) was declared a national treasure of France, a €43 million donation by LVMH enabled the French Republic to buy it?
- I reckon that the word national should be lower case when embedded in this sentence so, with that proviso and the currency being Euro, the ALT1b hook is ok.
- I looked at the pictures. File:Lyon 1er - Musée des Beaux-Arts - Salle 229 - Partie de bateau (Gustave Caillebotte).jpg is higher resolution and has more metadata showing its provenance. It seems brighter and, to my eye, this seems more consistent with other coverage such as this. I have amended the article to use that file as DYK should be consistent with the article's choice.
- Fox News doesn't seem a suitable source for a French fine arts topic but, with the change of currency to Euro, it's not so relevant now.

- user:Andrew Davidson, my only qualm with the higher resolution file is the brown strip across the top. I am wondering if we could get a better file somewhere. Since the intention is to get this a picture slot at DYK, I am going to check at commons and see if there is anything we can do.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:14, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

- @TonyTheTiger: I hadn't noticed the brown strip but have tried cropping it off the top. See how you find that. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:08, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Andrew Davidson:, I'm going to see if we have other options. Let's not rush this to the queue.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:51, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Note Commons:Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Improving_an_image. Can we put this aside for a few weeks. I am going to attend an Art Institute lecture on Caillebotte on August 7 and will try to bring decent camera equipment (I have a Canon EOS R5 Mark II that takes 45 megapixel shots) to get a better photo. Then I just have to crop out the frame.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:23, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
