Hi Usernameunique, review follows: article created 2 June, article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hooks are interesting and mentioned in the article; hooks check out to the National Gallery description; a QPQ has been carried out. No issues here, that I can see - Dumelow (talk) 07:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
