This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1677, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer .

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office ) before January 1, 1929.
