- Reason
- Marie-Gabrielle Capet, selfportrait. One of the rare woman artists in the art history; Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818) was a French portrait painter. Unfortunately the Art Academies were not open to women,and women painters had the not serious enough stamp over them. She was trained by an other woman artist, and counted among other customers several members of the royal family, and even other members of the French Paris society. She has a smart tool in her hand, that was used to press pastel and charcoal used in art for drawing, making rough sketches, in order to avoid getting dirty and messy.

- Oppose - This is killing me, as the painting really deserves it... but the jpg artefacting is just too obvious. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

looks even worse. In that case withdraw. Unless I can post this as an alt, it is also her, with her teacher.... Hafspajen (talk) 05:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
- File:Adélaïde Labille-Guiard - Self-Portrait with Two Pupils - The Metropolitan Museum of Art.jpg is a better scan of that one. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
