Talk:Pedro II of Brazil

I'm contesting [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pedro_II_of_Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=1196113996 this edit], which changes the infobox portrait from this Brady to this Nadar, for a few different reasons. I think contextually the Brady is more appropriate for here. The Nadar was taken in 1991 at the end of Pedro's life, a few years after his ousting. His health deteriorated significantly at the end of his reign and into his exile, which is why he looks weakened, almost anemic, in the Nadar portrait. Conversely, the Brady was taken in 1876, a more central point in his life which happened to also be the apex of his reign, and as such is more broadly representative of him. I also note that the Nadar is already at Exile and death of Pedro II of Brazil. Curbon7 (talk) 11:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

:That's fair, I suppose, but I don't particularly like the Brady portrait. A little awkwardly posed Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.7% of all FPs.} 22:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

::It is also reasonable for the picture for figures of this era to be a painting, such as with Napoleon III, so that is also an option. Curbon7 (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Curbon7}} There's a lot of nice images on the [https://artsandculture.google.com/entity/pedro-ii-of-brazil/m0k_69?categoryId=historical-figure Google Art Project], including a couple that might well be better than what we have - there's some very nice paintings of his younger days, and a good photo or two.

::::Hi {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, sorry for the long delay, I have been seriously unwell which has significantly impacted my editing capacity. I trust your judgment with photography/images, so I'll leave it to the one you think is best. Curbon7 (talk) 06:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
