@Storye book:... Thank you for reviewing. I need to recheck the hook fact as the source is not correct and does not correspondance to Sher-Gil's letters. Will ping you once checked. Sorry for this. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Okay, here's my line of thought. ownership of the painting was transferred or "communicated to the public", meaning it was published. It was published outside of the United States, it seems- India, specifically. The author died in 1941, so Indian copyright law protected her works until 2001. Therefore, it was still protected by copyright in its home country in 1996. Therefore, it had its copyright restored in the United States by the URAA. That being said, international copyright law is....complicated. Have I missed anything super obvious or made any illogical jumps? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 11:28, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Both tags on the image file say that the image is currently in the public domain. Are you saying that one or both of the tags is untrue? If that is the case, what are your grounds for saying that your theory is the correct one, and that the Commons tags are incorrect in principle? Looking at the first tag on the page, it strikes me that you are perhaps not aware of the bit of law which that tag is using? Storye book (talk) 20:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
