Summary

Description
English: Left side part of a Theosophical mural painting in the drawing room at 3 Ely Place, Dublin (former Theosophical Society meeting place). There, according to Sally North (15 February 2023), "A Labyrinth of Images: WB Yeats and the Celtic Order" (29 minutes and 40 seconds in the seminar video uploaded to Youtube: [1]), George William Russell and W. B. Yeats painted it in the late 1880s. According to Summerfield, Henry (1975). That Myriad-minded Man: A Biography of George William Russell "A.E.", 1867-1935, p. 66 ([2]), a Theosophical writer described this painting as "an arrangement of nature spirits" between a heavenly Deva and a crouched human figure over our globe. Among the spirits is a winged angelic figure, an "augoeides" (originally a Neoplatonic term for "body of light", adopted by the Theosophists) or Yeats' daimon.

Licensing

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 1939, 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 80 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 80 years: Mexico has 100 years and Jamaica has 95 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term.
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.
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
