The picture of the stamp on the web page is enlarged to the point that the "artistry" is apparent, but it has been rendered in a photo realistic style. Reduced to postage stamp size, as it will be seen in everyday use, the image will appear to most as a colourized photograph.
Besides, it is a famous photographic image. Just as a photograph of a painting still depicts a painting, then a painting of a photograph, especially a famous one that is rendered photo realistically, will be seen as a photograph.
