The image might meet Wikipedia’s fair use policy. Please review the policy and make a judgment. We should be using as few fair use images as possible. The image itself should be

as small as possible (usually not wider than 300 pixels),
discussed directly in the article (for a good example, see The Persistence of Memory),
critically important to the reader’s understanding of the article,
not replaceable by a free image that could be created or found and
not a screenshot used just to show what a person looks like (such as a screen capture from Terminator 2 to illustrate Arnold Schwarzenegger).

The image page must include a fair use rationale. You can use the following template, filling in all of the fields:

{{Fair use rationale
|Description= Title and brief description of the image.
|Source= Exact work from which this image is taken, e. g. the author, title,
         year of publication and edition of a book, the URL of a website or
         the name and year of release of a film.
|Portion= How much of the work are we using, such as one frame from a film
          or an entire photograph at reduced resolution.
|Purpose= The role this image plays in the article where it is used.
|ResolutionReduced= Was the resolution reduced? E. g. yes, reduced from
                    720×480 DVD screenshot to 180×120.
|Replaceability= Reason why this image cannot ever be replaced by a free image.
|other_information= Optional, additional remarks, e. g.:
                    Permission was granted to Wikipedia for using this image.
