I believe so, but you can try it with the latest version of the Ruby json-ld gem to be sure.

The way the expansion algorithm reads is in 8.5, if key has a local context (scoped context), to use that to set term context. Later, in 8.8, term context is used to expand the value of the property (“Painting”, in your case).

I get the following expanded JSON-LD:

```
[
  {
    "@id": "http://example.org/object/1",
    "@type": [
      "ManMadeObject"
    ],
    "crm:P2_has_type": [
      {
        "@id": "http://vocab.gett.edu/aat/300033618"
      }
    ]
  }
]
```

Looks like what you want, note that ManMadeObject isn’t expanded, as it’s not defined anywhere.
