After thinking about this a bit, I sanity-checked the numbers -

https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=File:Lozupone_katz2.png

The English Wikipedia "pseudo-file-description" page gets 28 views to
12 on Commons over a 20-day period. Pulling up some random other
images from article leads...

File:Michael_Collins_1922.jpg - 55 en, 28 commons
File:Empire_State_Building_by_David_Shankbone_crop.jpg - 541 en, 77 commons
File:Hylobates_lar_pair_of_white_and_black_01.jpg - 71 en, 21 commons

This is quite interesting - it looks like systematically more people
look at the local Wikipedia's mirror of a file description page than
view it on Commons. It's not particularly surprising, when you
consider the workflow involved, but I don't think I've seen it
discussed before...
