Well probably not, as it is an ongoing project. You can post questions
there however on the talk page that are more likely to generate useful
answers for you than this list. Most Wikidatans involved there don't speak
English as a first language and I don't think they are frequent readers of
this mailing list. For specific questions on properties for paintings, I
believe you can best look at the Wikidata items for the Mona Lisa and
Vermeer's "Milkmaid" aka "The Yellow Kitchenmaid"
