Wikipedia Whoopsie

This morning I noticed in an ArtDaily article that a graphic of Georges Seurat's Seated Nude: Study for 'Une Baignade' (1883) faced in the wrong direction (above left). I checked with Wikipedia and that shows the ArtDaily graphic too (CLICK). The National Gallery of Scotland, which owns the original drawing, shows the boy facing right (title link). In Seurat's finished painting, Bathers at Asnières, the boy also faces to the right. His red shorts, added for the painting, are hopeless.
