Speedy close. Licensing makes it ineligible for FP. Per astoundingly stupid rules that enforce almost-as-stupid American law, it's barely even eligible for use on wikipedia. --⁪ffroth 20:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
'Scuse me, but isn't a painting from 1814 public domain in any and all jurisdictions? --Janke | Talk 20:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- - I don't know, apparently not. The licensing information on file is "Only non-commercial or educational use of this file is permitted." --⁪ffroth 21:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not true. See below. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-11-21 21:32Z
Comment, scale it down a bit - it's unsharp at 100%. --Aqwis (talk) 20:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Plenty of institutions request non-commercial/educational-only use of public domain works to which they provide access, but it's not a law or even remotely enforceable. Once you have a copy, you can do with it whatever you want. It's public domain and can't be recopyrighted (unless significantly modified, such as in the case of a parody). — BRIAN0918 • 2007-11-21 21:32Z
Oppose This photoreproduction is not really true to life, and not good quality. Halftone dots(?) visbile, esp in flesh areas. Stitching visible down the middle and toe is cut off so probably missing something around the edges. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
