Notes Despite Jardine’s prestigious standing in the merchant community, only a handful of portraits of him have survived, at least two of them by Chinnery (including the present work) and others by his Chinese imitators. There is another version of this portrait, probably a copy by Lamqua, in the Jardine Collection, for which see M. Keswick, (ed.), The Thistle and the Jade: A Celebration of 150 Years of Jardine, Matheson & Co., London, 1982, p. 8 (illustrated).

Licensing

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. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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.
