The copyright for this image is likely owned by either the artist who created it, the individual who commissioned the work, or their legal heirs. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of artworks: for purposes of critical commentary on:
  • the specific work in question,

  • the artistic school or tradition to which the artist is associated,
qualifies as fair use under copyright law.
Any other use of this image, could potentially constitute a copyright infringement.
