File:Malcolm III.jpg

This file was initially tagged by Verica Atrebatum as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: This is a modern painting, at most ten years old, and is still in copyright Sreejith K (talk) 11:14, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

The original uploader never gave any source information. Later, Angusmclellan added that it was a photo of a frieze at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, painted by William Hole (d.1917): [1] Later, Verica Atrebatum stated that this identification is wrong, and that the image is of a modern frieze at Edinburgh Castle: [2].

I've Googled around a bit, and although I can't confirm that it is a modern painting at the castle, it now seems to me that it it wasn't Hole's painting at the portrait gallery. For example, this website shows photos of his frieze: [3]. This one shows Malcolm Canmore, but it's different: [4]. Thanks to Sreejith K for listing this at Deletions requests. Unless someone can bring forward some other evidence, I think that this image should prolly be deleted—it doesn't seem to be part of Hole's work. I'll upload a cropped version of Hole's painting to replace this one. Done, see File:Margaret and Malcolm Canmore.jpg.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
