Permission

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.

Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law. This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules).
This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.

English: Long description: This painting depicts a red-haired, rosy-cheeked girl of perhaps 16 years sitting on a tuft in a large meadow, facing us with eyes closed. She is wearing a heavy, torn working skirt and a shawl over her head, and a hand accordian sits in her lap. Her younger blonde sister sits leaning back against her on her left, holding her hand and gazing off to her left – perhaps at some birds on the ground nearby. She is also wearing rough and torn work clothes. A small stream runs immediately in back of the girls, and behind that the yellow meadow stretches back a distance, then up a hill. Various buildings and some trees dot the skyline of the hill. A double rainbow reaches down from the darkish sky to the centre of the skyline. In addition to the birds, there are a few farm animals grazing in the meadow – possibly horses, cattle, and sheep.
