Streatham portrait[edit]
- ...
that the Streatham portrait of Lady Jane Grey (pictured), thought to be a 1590s reproduction of a contemporary sitting, was discovered in an attic?
- ALT1:... that the Streatham portrait (pictured) is widely held to be a bad painting yet was purchased by the National Portrait Gallery for a rumored £100,000?
- Reviewed: Marpesia zerynthia
- Comment: I much prefer the ALT, although please do not include the subject of the painting if that is chosen.

The article is new enough and, although a section was copied from another article, long enough. It is fairly well written (although I would have incorporated note A into the text) and appears to be in a neutral tone. QPQ done. The hook is cited to an offline source (although a review of the book is linked in the reference) so I have to AGF. The reference used for claims in ALT1 is supported by a source accessible. No evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing. I would be nervous about using the image as its page on Commons contains a message about how its use may be a copyright infringement in some countries. I do not know enough about PD-art to be able to advise on this.— Rod talk 20:23, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Re: Image. The first sentence of the template is "While Commons policy accepts the use of this media" (emphasis mine), meaning for the purposes of Wikipedia and Commons it is free enough. The Foundation does not recognise sweat of the brow, the facet of UK copyright law under which the NPG is claiming copyright, as US law does not recognise it. In short, it's acceptable.
- Re: source: If you want to read the whole text, just click on the image of the first page (the one in which this painting is visible). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
