Info Boris Kustodiyev. Maslenitsa. 1919. Oil on canvas. 71x98 sm. Maslenitsa (Maślenica, also known as Butter Week, Crepe week, or Cheesefare Week), is an Eastern Slavic religious and folk holiday. It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent—that is, the eighth week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival, except that Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday, and the Orthodox date of Easter can differ greatly from the Western Christian date.

Support -- ArionEstar (talk) 16:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)- Support From Commons:Featured picture candidates#Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents (trimmed):
- "Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
- Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy...
- Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject."
- "Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
- I don't know much about art, so I can't say with certainty the artist is a "major artist" but Boris Kustodiev has a Wikipedia article, which is noteworthy and suggest he is an important Russian artist. Otherwise, I think this certainly meets the second criteria above. -- AHeneen (talk) 05:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Comment It is above the size limit, but image is still rather small. Wouldn't it be practical to require more than mere 2 Mpx from a photo, that is taken from a static object, like a painting? Kruusamägi (talk) 22:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)- Support --Halavar (talk) 21:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
