Fair use rationale in Harriet Barber
This low resolution image is used in Harriet Barber, an article about the artist and her work, and is credited as a piece of artistic work. It is considered that this significantly helps the reader's understanding of the topic by showing the stylistic approach and compositional effect achieved, which is visual and cannot therefore be understood merely by words. It is considered that this will not cause commercial harm to the copyright holder. It is believed that this is fair use and does not infringe copyright. There is no known free alternative available, as it is an original artwork.

According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976 :

The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

The image is used for non-profit purposes. This factor is noted as relevant by the Act.
