- Support Very important person in mathematics. Lead image in article, too. Could be slightly cropped top & bottom, a bit of edges of frame showing. --Janke | Talk 19:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The three images are all different colours. How can we tell which is most faithful? The detail of the brushwork is not amazing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:53, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
