While the creation date was 1917, publication is different than creation. The source states "This artwork is known to be under copyright", and the author Boris Bernhard Gordon (Q84451456) died in 1976, less than 70 years ago. Unless evidence of pre-1925 publication can be found, or other public domain rationale, this will have to be deleted. --Animalparty (talk) 02:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

comment don't know why your doubt creation date as publication date for pre-1923 works. it was given to the museum in 1928. Frypie (talk) 18:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: If the work was donated to the museum by a private owner in 1928, it's unlikely that it was published as defined in copyright law before that date. The museum also indicates that the painting is protected by copyright, and they are generally reliable for that information. Without evidence of pre-1925 publication, an un-renewed copyright registration, or permission from the copyright holder, the file must be deleted per COM:PCP. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 19:30, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
