Author or
copyright owner
We don't know. The subject of the image (the statue) was by Hans Schuler in 1927
Source (WP:NFCC#4) Original publication: We don't know. There are many photographs of this statue on the web. We don't know who published this particular photo first.

Immediate source: Journal 18 (https://www.journal18.org/nq/monuments-and-crimes-by-dell-upton/)

Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) TO support text
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
It certainly could be. We just don't have one, and there doesn't seem to be one on the web. We've put a request for a photo on the article talk page.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) It's only used once, in the one article. It's size-reduce by 2/3.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Anyone wanting to use a photo for commercial purposes would certainly make their own photo (the statue is easily accessible), and this reduced copy is of little value. our source is an article by an academic and there's no reason to believe they would monetize it.
