Pele (deity)
Portion used

entire painting
Low resolution?

Yes
Purpose of use

Iconic representation of the subject. See #8 of the list of uses for non-free images.

The painting is exhibited at Volcanoes National Park and has iconic status. Per the artist's website, "In 2003 the Volcanoes National Park, with . . . a judging panel of highly respected kupuna (Hawaiian elders, teachers and leaders), held a competition to see which artist in Hawai’i could paint the best new version of the Goddess Pele. . . . I won the competition, to my intense surprise. So now my painting of the ancestral deity hangs permanently at the visitors’ center in the park!" [1]
Replaceable?

Possible. However, the standing of the image - its use at the visitors' center and selection by the elders - may make this image more appropriate than a non-free image.
