The picture is licensed as {{PD-BritishGov}}, but I see no reason why. The pictures comes from the British Museum. I don't know whether a NDPB qualifies as “the United Kingdom Government”. Plus we cannot know if the picture was taken more than 50 years ago.

I'm not au fait with the situation, but isn't this a 2-dimensional work of art by an artist m ore than 70 years dead, or is that irrelevant?

It's a detail from a
krater (a kind of large vase), so the PD-art license cannot apply IMO. On a side note, this is a low-quality picture of a well-known vase. The best solution would be that a London-dwelling Wikipedian hop into the British Museum (entrance is free) and shoot a picture.

A crater isn't 2-dimensional. It's 3-dimensional. And this Image isn't 50 years or more old. Also the description is a problem. Silly talking without really deep going informations, in parts at the end false informations. delete.
