Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Fern Shaffer
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating and supporting encyclopedic discussion of a key element and critical moment in the artist's practice and technique: Shaffer’s late-period body of work that includes several painting series based on forms and their ecological/medicinal uses. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this stage in her art. Shaffer’s work of this type is discussed in the article and has been discussed in detail by numerous art critics.
