| Portion used |
The entire painting. Because the image is a work of art, the whole image is needed to identify the artwork, properly convey the subject and meaning intended by the artist, and avoid misrepresenting the artwork. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but considerably lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as a replacement for the original artwork. |
| Other information |
Copyright is likely held by either Souter's estate or the Aberdeen Art Gallery, but this is uncertain. It is important to note that this 1962 reconstruction is not the original. Souter's wife Christian Grace Reid purportedly destroyed his original 1926 painting on moral grounds, but Souter retained his preparatory drawings. For decades, the work was only known from a blurry photograph published in an exhibition catalogue, but Souter made this reconstructed version in the 1960s. |
