- I'm not sure I buy the American copyright status. It requires it to never have been published, but "published" is such a vague meaning here.... Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 11:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Adam, reading the "ownership" section of the article, it remained with the Fabri family until 2018. I think we can assume? 2018 as its first publication date (in the U.S.). If so, and the author passing in 1941 (70 years plus), that would make it PD in the U.S. Bammesk (talk) 02:26, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- If we presume that the first show where it was bought from counts as publication, though.... Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 02:33, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Charles Fabri, owner/custodian of the painting, worked for (wrote for [1]) Civil and Military Gazette, an India based newspaper. The painting became a national treasure and legally had to (and still does) remain in India. So the presumption that there was "no U.S. showing" is reasonable. The 2018 sale was in the digital age, so there was a worldwide showing in 2018. Bammesk (talk) 04:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- The first show was in 1937 in India, calling that a publication in India and looking at Hirtle chart again, yes, you have a valid argument. Bammesk (talk) 04:48, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Unless the copyright's certain, don't think we can promote Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 16:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
