Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Republican costume by David

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Design for a Republican costume by Jacques-Louis David. Hand-coloured engraving by Denon (1794)
Not for voting - unrestored original for comparison
Reason
Encyclopedic engraving by Denon of a drawing by David for a costume for peoples' reprensentatives.
Minimal restoration: stains and dust removed, cropped/rotated, contrast enhanced. Chose to keep paper grain, not to bleach paper to white and not to remove all traces of darkening towards the edges.
