Nicholas Roerich. Твердыня (Лхаса). Image source: WikiArt. Source rights label: Public domain. https://www.wikiart.org/en/nicholas-roerich/lhasa-1942. Collected under the user's explicit WikiArt source approval of 6 October 2026; this approval is separate from the source's rights assertion. Full-frame proportional resize and JPEG compression. WikiArt records 1942; the existing catalogue retains 1947. Exact source object and creator IDs match; both recorded intervals are within the pre-1971 scope. No catalogue dates were rewritten. Native Ж-7098, Stronghold (Lhasa), and the WikiArt Lhasa reproduction show the same work: the stepped yellow-red-blue palace, individual zigzag paths across its brown hill, pink cloud outlines, mountain contours, tiny right-side chortens and buildings, trees, shoreline and reflected palace blocks align. The source photograph is substantially darker and warmer; retain its supplied colour rendering without correction. Source 1942 and native/catalogue 1947 remain separate in the image evidence and attribution, with no date rewrite. The complete supplied composition is retained without extra cropping. Editorial same-work confidence exceeds 90% from these matching individual contours and painted details; the shorter source title is reconciled only for this exact native inventory and page.
