Description
English: Samuel Luke Fildes - The Empty Chair, engraving of a water colour by Fildes (The Graphic, Christmas Number, 1870.)

The Graphic version has the chair at a slightly different angle.

'The Empty Chair, Gad's Hill - 9th of June 1870'.

Fildes was illustrating "Edwin Drood" at the time of Charles Dickens' death. The watercolour shows Dickens' empty chair in his study. Vincent van Gogh, who had acquired all 212 volumes of "The Graphic" between 1870 and 1880, greatly admired the print (Sweetman, p.153).

Licensing

[edit]
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:
Public domain

The author died in 1927, 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 95 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.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
