Agreed, but setting the bar low and leaving off relevant and useful information - while not a crediting crime - is a flaw. In such cases, there's a hierarchy of information. The artist and location of the original are essential, in my view. The date, medium and size of the original are useful, though less important. I know it's a burden for the writer, but there are at least two versions of this painting in different museums. It may be only an illustration in this case, but it's also an authentic artifact that should be accompanied by at least some of it's critical metadata.

Ah, much better... Thank you.
