Fair use for Nicolai Fechin

This image, FechinSelfPortrait.JPG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (abakharev) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of a painting;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell painting and in fact reinforces its value due to the publicity;
the image is significant because it provides an important example of the artist's style.
