Oppose: Just a piece of beautiful art; nothing featurable. Down below we had a stained glass window, and an old map, which demonstrate the kind of art that should make it through FP. I think that this is great art, but not a worth picture to be FP.Stephen.job 18:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There is a regular pattern, more visible in the background, suggesting this is a copy of a printing rather than a photo of the original. Also, the focus is not perfect. It is an interesting painting though. I'm not sure what kind of tool the man is handling (a hammer?) but it looks quite heavy and menacing... Alvesgaspar 09:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The name, Der Holzfaeller, means the lumberjack; so, this is probably a tool of that trade. Perhaps an axe, though it seems not... I am thinking this might be a large, levred plane, used to cut the logs into roughly rectilinear shapes, like a giant Draw Knife? Menacing and heavy indeed..

- The other tool looks like a wedge used to split wood. Alvesgaspar 16:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The tool over his shoulder is probably an adze - MPF 00:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
