I agree that the National Portrait Gallery should be commended for their restoration and preservation work, but I don't for a moment believe that they can try to make an exact copy of a work and then claim to hold special rights to it. It seems almost paradoxical to me.
They are clearly
not exact copies. They are small photographic representations.

Nobody has any business agreeing to things, in a settlement agreement or otherwise, that they have no power over in the first place.
They have power over their representations. They don't have power over your representations.
