Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Francis Thompson (film director)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	There are very few images of this person online, at least that I can find. The person who gave me the image to post does not know who made it but is quite certain that having it illustrate that person's Wikipedia page would be welcomed.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This will be the only image used to illustrate the subject of the article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	I would hope that the true author would come forward to claim credit for the image and thereby also get their name up online giving them increased exposure to the artistic community.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: December 26, 2003
