[edit] Still a stub?

Does this still meet the definition of a stub? Mdotley 18:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

It really doesn't look that way. The only information I could imagine would also work is where all the paintings are now. The artist's page is really where the other stuff should go.

[edit] The Fourth Painting

What's the fourth painting showing?--ML5 12:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I've added quite a bit to the description, so hopefully it is more understandable. Rickedmo 22:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sixth Painting

How do they know her husband has been hanged at Tyburn? It isn't shown on the painting Bananas 13:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC) shout at me for doing wrong!

In the original painting, I'm sure you are able to read the headlines of the newspaper at the feet of the dead Countess and that refers to Tyburn. Also, the gallows at Tyburn were renounded (or is it "notorious"?) for having an unusual design - three vertical posts set in a triangle with three horizontal beams joining the tops. Such a gallows can be seen illustrated at the top of the newspaper on the floor. Hope that helps. Bt the way, it is only by reading this newspaper article in the original painting that we learn that the lawyer/lover is known as Councellor Silvertongue Rickedmo 01:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't know about the painting, but in the engraving/print, it's very clearly the Tyburn tree and his last speech. 68.39.174.238 15:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toilette

The link for the word "Toilette" doesn't lead to any article. Prince.timotheus 17:34, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
