## Start with the work record
Open the AtriTrove detail page, then follow the official institutional record and rights links. Confirm the creator, title, date, institution, public-domain status, and preview before downloading or editing.
## What the current sources say
The Art Institute of Chicago record for The Bedroom identifies the work as public domain. The museum's API documentation explains that public-domain images are delivered through IIIF. For artwork API responses, the description field is licensed CC BY 4.0; the other response data is designated CC0, subject to the museum terms.
The Cleveland Museum of Art record for Adeline Ravoux, its Open Access policy, and terms identify qualifying open-access images and data as CC0 and permit copying, modification, distribution, and commercial use without prior permission.
CC0 permits copying, modification, distribution, and commercial use without asking permission. Attribution is not a CC0 requirement, but a provenance note helps readers verify the work.
Suggested credit: `Vincent van Gogh, The Bedroom, 1889, Art Institute of Chicago. Public-domain image; official source linked from AtriTrove.` For Adeline Ravoux, substitute the Cleveland Museum of Art and its official record.
## What remains your responsibility
CC0 does not grant trademark, patent, privacy, publicity, or endorsement rights and provides no warranty. Public-domain status can depend on jurisdiction and context. Review the official source, context of use, and applicable law, especially for advertising, branding, sensitive edits, or claims involving an institution or person.
## A simple workflow
1. Save the official source and rights URL with your project notes. 2. Download the highest-quality file permitted by that source. 3. Make reversible edits and keep the untouched original. 4. Export an accessible, appropriately sized derivative; GIMP is one suitable open-source tool. 5. Recheck the final context, credit, and links before release.
