I guess you can say I am, in part. The photo is a cropped version of the larger image freely available at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/Milchm%C3%A4dchen_von_Pawel_Petrowitsch_Sokolow.jpg. Since there was merit in conserving that larger image with background details, I left it as it was without modifying. For the purposes of the article it illustrates, however, it was better to create this separate image.

However, the same photo as here seems to be on English Wikipedia, ascribed to Frank Schubert as his own work. I'm baffled but maybe you have some electronic means of checking the history. Since there is an author ascription to the en:wp image, would it be better to substitute that in the fable article? Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 07:43, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
