I have uploaded a better photo with (I believe) more accurate colours. I took this in the National Museum of Scotland in June (this is cropped to just the frame + painting, here is the original photo). I'll let some less biased person decide whether it should replace the existing image :-) Possibly the frame should be cropped also, though it does show that the painting has been very carefully lit.
