1 answer
The correct answer is that the mural is in the public domain. Since the artist painted the mural on a public wall in a city park, it can be inferred that the artist intended for it to be publicly accessible and for people to interact with it. Therefore, the artist likely did not retain copyright protection for the mural, and it is free for anyone to photograph, share, and use for personal purposes.
