Whistlejacket is an oil-on-canvas painting from about 1762 showing the Marquess of Rockingham's racehorse, rearing up against a blank background. Edited by uploader from National Gallery scan to add lost "brownspace" to the left and right of the painting.
  • Sorry for the late reply. However, I disagree with your opinion. We have many paintings, which have been given FP status on various wikipedias, elevated to FP status in commons. For example this pic got FP staus, this one and many more are there. IMHO, EV is an advantage for a pic in commons, besides technical quality. Nikhil (talk) 04:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not suggesting EV isn't a consideration on Commons. I am saying a good scan of a high EV paiting should not be the threshold for FP status on Commons. Commons is about the image... and without the written backstory in the WP article as to why this is such an important painting it becomes are rather unremarkable image to me.
