@GeneralPoxter: @Ashleyyoursmile: sorry to be a downer, but I don't think this article is ready for display on the main page yet. The "Description" section needs citations, as it isn't just obvious assertions about the painting that anyone could check by looking at it, per WP:SKYISBLUE. Assertions such as "emulating the man's prayerful pose" and "perhaps saying grace or the Lord's prayer" are not self-evident just from looking at the picture. The last paragraph of that section seems to be almost all scholarly analysis rather than observation. Similarly there are some cites missing in the following paragraph. Please take a look at fixing these up. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 09:55, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

@Amakuru: No problem, thanks for the catch! I took the time to convert the sources at the bottom of the article to inline citations, and I believe everything should be in order now. GeneralPoxter (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

@GeneralPoxter: apologies, I forgot to circle back to this one after your comment here. Thanks for the quick turnaround on this, and happy to reapprove. Looks good now. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 22:39, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
