Original – Nancy Storace (1765–1817), English soprano for whom the role of Susanna in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro was written.

Reason: A rather good hand-tinted engraving of an early, very important opera singer.
Articles in which this image appears: Nancy Storace, Pietro Bettelini
FP category for this image: Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Entertainment, I think. There's a similarly-old portrait of Jane Austen in there.

Comment I haven't touched the white balance; let me know if it's too dark, and I'll curve tool up a lightening at the top end. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 12:24, 11 March 2013 (UTC) Probably is. Variant uploaded[reply]

Support - Though it's pretty tiny to be honest. ceranthor 20:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, We know the original, to the edge of the paper (approximately the crop seen here), was only about postcard size, which is smaller than most artworks we deal with. Calculating it out, this is over 300 dpi, which isn't bad for something not scanned by someone who's a bit crazy when it comes to choosing dpi for their scans.

Support - a lovely image, well-restored, and very high educational value in Nancy Storace. I wish we had more images of this quality for 18th and 19th century opera singers. Voceditenore (talk) 09:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
