It was later made garment compliant when placed on a resource page for LDS primary teachers:

And on angels:

Left – “The Resurrection” (1873) by Carl Heinrich Bloch.
Right – the version printed on page 54 of the December 2011 Ensign, the official magazine of the LDS church, photoshopped to remove wings and add cap sleeves to the angels.

It should have been shown wizh a little more photoshopped:

See viewtopic.php?p=707669#p707669 for more fun about Bloch's paintings...

In this photo from the "Family Guidebook," the girl kneeling at the right was wearing shorts in the original photo, but they photoshopped them into pants (and not very well, either). I worked on that manual, so I saw the before and after.

We know that the church is always very careful that it's artwork conveys the correct message.
