  You cannot just take a picture from the internet and use it on your website. It could cost you a lot of money.
  If you don’t have a consent from the artist, use free pictures from e.g. pixabay.com

  Hi

  I couldn’t find out who the owner is. It’s everywhere in the net but no mention of the original artist. The image shows the signature of the artist.
  Can I just say “image retrieved from the web”?

  Unfortunaly that’s not enough. Firms like Getty Images are well known for tracking the unauthorised use of images and claiming thousands of dollars.
