Provenance

This image appeared in a Breitbart post on the Antifa movement's participation in the events at Charottesville last Saturday. In the Breitbart post, it it attributed to Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images.

I looked up Chip Somodevilla on the Getty Image website and could find no reference to the image.

Next I did a Google search on the image and got a hit. It was this link in Yahoo news. The Yahoo news post is actually a re-posting of this Time Magazine article of Aug 14, 2017 by Katy Steinmetz. Yet the  original article does not carry this image.  

That raises the question as to the provenance of the image. The photograph doesn't appear in the Getty catalog. It is not in the original Time article. So who took it, when and where was it actually taken, and how did it get associated on Yahoo with Katy Steinmetz' article?
