Description.

Oil painting of en:Helen Carte. According to the Christie's website, a 1992 exhibition catalogue described the painting as: "A portrait study of Miss Helen Couper-Black, general manager of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, collapsed on a sofa in exhaustion" after a rehearsal. The Christie's website says: "It is tempting to believe the rehearsal pinpointed in Sickert's title was of Whistler's Ten O'Clock Lecture, several presentations of which Miss Couper-Black staged in 1885.... This painting is an early example of Sickert's arbitrary use of titles. Its original title, reminiscent of a ballet scene by Degas, was especially misleading.... The painting is now known as The Acting Manager, the title of an earlier etched portrait, dated 1884 and shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1885, of Miss Couper-Black.... Only the sitter and the lamplit effects of the interior are common to both etching and painting."

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 1942, 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.


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.

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.
