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

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 70 years or fewer.

This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term.

Summary

  • This is a photo of an oil painting, which is a faithful reproduction of the picture here
  • The photo was taken by User:Chesdovi, of a picture on a corridor wall at Yesodei Hatorah school, in Stamford Hill, London.
  • The inscription on the bottom of the picture here says "this true and correct picture was taken from the picture arranged and made at the expense of much work by the noble woman, may the awe of God be her treasure, the late Mrs Miriam Santahe(?), a granddaughter of the GRA, which is to be seen today in the home of the Wilner family, descendants of the GRA. The false pictures fabricated thus far are nullified, and this is the visage of the good Eliyahu." The highlighted letters on the last line add up to 5675 (1915).
  • The inscription under the frame says: "The original picture of the GRA, which was in the possession of Mrs Miriam, the wife of Mr Shmaryah Zuckerman, the great-granddaughter of the GRA, the granddaughter of the GRA's son R Avraham, a picture that was not known until now, and was lately revealed." This is accompanied by an assertion of copyright by "Kerem Eliyahu - the Institute for Publishing the GRA's Works", Jerusalem. This assertion is obviously spurious, since the claimant openly admits that the work is old enough to be PD.
