Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a significant painting in the artist's body of work.
2. It is of low resolution (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of the article's work.

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it enables a direct comparison to be made with Ingres's similarly named painting of which Sleigh's picture is a gender reversal.
2. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it clearly demonstrates the orientalism of Ingres's view of the hammam.
3. It is a significant painting for the proper understanding of how the subject of the article can be artistically depicted without the implication that it depicts a scene in a harem.
4. It is of low resolution (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
5. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
