Original – Graziella, by Jules Joseph Lefebvre, which depicts the title character of Alphonse de Lamartine's novel Graziella

Reason: Lovely painting of the title character of this (actually quite enjoyable) novel. Free, detailed, and encyclopedic (Graziella's bare feet are mentioned several times, and her long black hair is central to a rather dramatic part of the novel)
Articles in which this image appears: Graziella +1
FP category for this image: Despite how Korvello was closed, I still think Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Literary illustrations is the most applicable.
Creator: Jules Joseph Lefebvre

Support – How could I not support this? I love this fabulous painting and the enchanting story; plus it's backed up with a great new article on what was apparently a very popular book. Excellent EV, well done, Crisco! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:29, 7 March 2015 (UTC) I see we're back with the foot fetish! [reply]

Comment - needs a crop or a slight rotation (or both). Kaldari (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The canvas itself is not perfectly straight. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - No, it's not. But maybe it can be balanced by a slight cropp? - something like this? Hafspajen (talk) 15:20, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I prefer not leaving out any part of the painting. This one is more manageable than most (have you seen some of those ones with non-straight frames?) but still. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
