Personally, I think you should tell them, and then leave it up to them whether to do anything about it. But otherwise, with this being a foreign artist, they may not know.

Yes, I think it is. There was, BTW, a legal case where an artist took a Victoria's Secret catalog lingerie photo, and did a painting from it for the cover of a romance novel, changing the clothes a bit (such as they were). He was sued and lost.

If Bjarne is concerned he should contact the Metropolitan Museum.
