No, the pic is from the sun website. In the paper they've got a little cut out of the painting that they say we can have for free. Those crazy bastards

Ruth knew he was a terrible alcoholic and that he had fallen off the wagon and downed a bottle of vodka or whatever it was earlier that day. She didn't have to get into the car with him. :'(
