Low resolution?

Is low and only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use

Illustrates the article The Prisoner which provides enough critical commentary for fair use to be applicable.
Replaceable?

No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the artwork so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
