Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1932, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

Provenance

A painting made by Boris Schatz of his own volition in Warsaw during 1877-1878, and publicized as an authentic portrait of the Rabbi. It was handed by the painter to Channaya Schneersohn of the w:Schneersohn family as a gift, and the former recommended that it be publicized as an authentic rendering copied from an original found in archives. Schatz himself bolstered the claim in a 1898 article he wrote, claiming to have seen the old lost painting. In 1938, his letters revealed the truth posthumously. Chabad spokesmen did not deny this.
