  • Long article moved to article space the same day as the nomination. Sources look good and no copyvio detected by the copyvio detector. Short and intriguing hook, although the parts about lady and courtesan are only explicitly mentioned in the article's lead section. The article body implies them by discussing courtesans and young brides as painting subjects in general, but could be more explicit about this painting in particular. QPQ done. Free, beautiful image that works well in small size; the Commons page says it has been superseded by another version, so consider switching to that one, although it's not necessary for a DYK pass.

@Ffranc: I've added a sentence to the last paragraph of the "Analysis" section which hopefully backs up the hook better. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
Good work. There is room for improvement related to the hook, but it should be good enough for DYK. The courtesan quotation could be improved by in-line attribution or be rewritten as paraphrase. The lady theory is still only supported by a source about the general motif, but it's established earlier in the article that the painting belongs to this type. The gallery at the bottom is largely unsupported - the article only refers to a few of these as related, and only directly to Titian's Flora (which I moved to a more prominent position) - but it might not be a problem; if someone thinks it is a problem, just get rid of it.
