Hi Ellen,
Thanks for your comment--we love hearing from artists! We rotated the image; it will be uploaded to the system soon (you may need to hit refresh/F5 to get the correction).
How did this happen? Well, it's a big painting, so when it was shot, it was placed on its side--you can see the easel in the negative. Years later, when the negative was digitized, that rotation wasn't corrected.
Thanks for your help and for giving me an excuse to go upstairs and look at some art!

I'm the artist and the painting is sideways.
Should be rotated 90 degrees CCW.
OOPS!
