Non-notable painting. ~~It is indeed in a museum collection, but~~ Little seems to have been written about it. Coverage of the artist is also sparse. Appears to be part of a walled garden of articles about the artist's work. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:44, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! -- Hendricolucky (talk) 11:50, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. One of our most fundamental principles is that all material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be WP:verifiable. That's not the case here, because the article has no citations. I would have no objection to moving the article to Draft space if there is a reasonable chance that reliable sources exist, but I'll not that I haven't been able to find any. Van der Does is represented is several museum collections, and there is likely enough material to sustain an article about him. I am not convinced that there are sufficient sources for individual works, especially those that are not in public collections. It is better to merge articles on individual works to a section in the artist's biography, but only if they can be sourced. Vexations (talk) 13:11, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - into the article on the artist Willem Jan Pieter van der Does, as it does seem like he is notable (tho his article needs work). Netherzone (talk) 13:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Delete. The painting does not appear to be the subject of a body of writing. Ewulp (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
