Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To illustrate some of the unique qualities of Ralph Steiner's style.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
There is no such thing as a "free" version of this photo, which is a work of art. The individuals in this photograph are very old or dead, so it cannot be retaken.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) I plan to use this photo only in the article on Ralph Steiner.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
This reduced-size image has only 64% of the pixels of the version published by the Getty Museum on their website. I would presume that the Getty Museum's lawyers have already carefully considered what size image could be published online without violating the rights of Ralph Steiner's heirs. By reducing the image even further from what the Getty Museum considered to be allowable, I am trying to be extra-cautious.
