OrphanBot (since you're the only one who reads these things):

• From http://www.chosun.com/gallery/shin/gallery1.html
• The copyright belongs to the original artist Nikolai Shin
• The image depicts a painting created by an artist deceased in 2006; the painting is copyright to him, and would not pass into the public domain for decades after his death, so no free alternative could be created
• The photo is of low resolution and does not deprive the copyright owner of his ability to profit from the original (which is three metres tall and forty-four metres wide)
• The photo adds significantly to the article on Nikolai Shin by illustrating the painting widely acknowledged to be his masterpiece and showing how it depicts the suffering of the Koryo-saram
