The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.  Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years.

Note:: This painting is in the public domain in countries where copyrights expire 70 years (or less) after the death of author. It is probably not in the public domain in the U.S. The painting is the work of a Belgian artist. As a non-U.S. work that was still copyrighted in its source country (Belgium) in 1996, it was subject to the copyright restorations of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act in the U.S. Its copyright in the U.S. was thus restored in 1996, and thus the painting is copyrighted in the U.S. We do not know exactly when this painting was created (1924 appears to be wrong as the subject died on August 18, 1923). We also don't know when the painting was published, if at all. ("Publication" meaning the making available to the general public of copies—such as photographs—of the painting.)

The photo of this painting is in the public domain in countries where the painting in in the public domain and where either

• the copyright on the photograph has expired (we don't know who the photographer was, though), or
• reproductive photographs are not copyrightable.

In summary: it may well be that this painting is still copyrighted in the U.S. Lupo 09:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
