Most galleries disallow photographs due to the donation of private estates. If the painting (or artwork) was donated, for example, it belongs to a private collection, and the owner of the estate has specified that the artwork cannot be reproduced (photographed) without consent. I don't know precisely what the provenance of the work is and the AGO's policy, but surely a simple asking would have eliminated embarrassment.
That's what I found out about the Chicago Art Institutes collection (free photographs for everything) and the V&A in London (NO pix of private donations - that was in 1973). All I did was ask.
