From "Copyright Law: Publishing Art and the Public Domain" on the Art Institute of Chicago website:

"These publications illustrate more artworks that are now in the public domain in the United States because the artists did not file copyright renewal applications within the one-year renewal window at the end of the 28 years following the first publication. All of these artists died fewer than 70 years ago, so these artworks are potentially protected by copyright in countries that calculate copyright protection based on the life of the artist.

Licensing[edit]

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 1967, 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 50 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1928 and 1963 and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed.

For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart.
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.
