Notes The Pellinen publication talks of a book from 1989 that describes this painting and notes that it’s in a private collection. Both the drypoint and line engraving version and the full The Farmer’s Wife and the Poor Devil with its Twins have been in the care of Ateneum for seemingly a hundred years. This means there has certainly been a third version of this out in private collection in 1989. That would be much earlier than any of the known Simberg forgeries. Then this image is from a printed postcard on sale too, further strengthening the case there really is an authentic color version in private collection and not just a forgery.

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 1917, 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 100 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.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
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.
