Support - looks good to me. Mattximus (talk) 01:16, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I wonder why Ingres added "à Madame" to the signature in the bottom right corner. Brandmeister^talk 13:33, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the article, "Through his wife, Cavé became acquainted with [her] former teacher Ingres, as well as Delacroix and Gigoux. In 1844 [Cavé] commissioned Ingres to paint his portrait, which was apparently intended to be a companion piece to Ingres's earlier portrait of Mme Cavé". — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – It's not on the Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres page. Sca (talk) 16:55, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Does it have to be? This image is being nominated for showing Cave, not for illustrating Ingres' style. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support- ^{that article is not well illustrated, I say. Was thinking about having a go at it some day.}Hafspajen (talk) 20:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I think probably this is a very good likeness of Cavé. It shows his individuality. CorinneSD (talk) 18:21, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support HQ and much EV. --Alborzagros (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2015 (UTC)--[reply]
Comment-2 – EV? According to his article, he's famous nowadays mainly for having been painted by Ingres. Sca (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - That statement in the lede of the article on Hygin-Auguste Cavé, "He is perhaps best known as the subject of a portrait by the French artist Ingres, which is on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art" may be mainly true in the U.S., but I would suspect that in France he is remembered also for his many other accomplishments.

^{A famous French lawyer. Hmmmm. Sca (talk) 23:15, 1 March 2015 (UTC)}[reply]

^{Well, maybe he wouldn't be remembered for being a lawyer, but look (in the article) at all the other things he did. I think you're teasing me, though. - CorinneSD (talk) 23:56, 1 March 2015 (UTC)}[reply]
