- Reason
- I love the work of Philippe Chaperon, and Gallica has loads and loads of his set designs for operas. I love that he incorporates characters into his plans, showing how they'd fit into the stage, and work with it. It's really lovely work that's shamefully neglected.

- By the way, I spent some time bulking up the article a bit. It's your typical 18th/early 19th century comedy; there's a dramatic thing in the past, a person who finds out the secret and tries to use it against him, talking in one's sleep, dramatic reveals of who a character really is... the bad get punished, and everyone else gets given positions and titles. Fluff and nonsense, but the kind of thing that's really effective in the moment. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 16:15, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- It's a nice image, and I'd probably lean support. @Adam Cuerden: I'm curious about a couple things, though. The middle person in the foreground -- his left arm is not damage? I'm also looking at the topmost sail. How did you distinguish between the spots you removed and did not. For example, near the very top under where the horse's head would be, there are a few removed and a couple that remain? Some similar-tone spots towards the bottom-left of the sail. I'm not sure if they're something to be removed? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:03, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- You are definitely right about the arm. I'll fix that once I'm home. As for the spots - they're a judgement call. They can be part of watercolour naturally if there's bubbles on the brush, or be caused later by minor water damage, e.g. a sneeze. I tend to remove the ones that seem disruptive to the art; I'll have another look, though. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 23:17, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Having compared things with other signs of damage, I'm getting more convinced about removing some of the specks, and have done so. Check now. @Rhododendrites: Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 00:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
