Original – An Interior (c. 1838) by Mary Ellen Best, a watercolourist noted for her portrayal of domestic life.

Reason: Found this while going through WikiCup submissions from last round. It's a nice article on a notable female painter, and the artwork is stunningly detailed. I presume this is about 8"x11", which makes this about 300dp

Question - It looks like there's damage in the ceiling area (possibly mold), but the absence of it from the rest of the photo makes me wonder if the damage is part of the original painting or not. Adam? Sven Manguard Wha? 23:18, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Spotting on the paper; it's not uncommon. But Ib believe we generally frown on restoring artworks that only have a single copy, unless they're so damaged as to be useless otherwise. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:22, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
