[edit] Summary

This is an image of George Curzon (1859-1925). He is seen in this photo in his robes as Viceroy of India, a post he held from 1899-1905. It is a logical step to assume this image is in the public domain. Its author is unknown (most likely an employee of the British Empire, and most likely long dead). I have uploaded it to the commons from the english language wikipedia. I will copy what was on its wikipedia page below :

Half-length portrait of George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, British statesman.

Cropped and slightly touched up. Original from the Library of Congress.[1]

LOC states: "No known restrictions on publication..no date recorded on caption card."

Since Curzon died in 1925, the work is very likely in the public domain.

[edit] Licensing

Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
