 In django.forms.fields.ImageField's `to_python()` method, an uploaded
 image is validated by `open()`ing a PIL.Image object from it and calling
 `verify()` on that. Afterwards, the Image object is saved to an `image`
 attribute of the uploaded file (i.e. an InMemoryUploadedFile). According
 to a comment in the source, this happens so that "subclasses can reuse it
 for their own validation".

 Pillow closes an Image after `verify()`ing and the docs
 
[https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/Image.html#PIL.Image.Image.verify
 state] that it cannot be used after calling `verify` on it:

   If you need to load the image after using this method, you must reopen
 the image file.

 For me, this resulted in the following error when trying to explicitly
 call `save()` on the Image, but similar effects will probably happen for
 any operation:

 {{{
   File ".../lib/python3.6/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1960, in save
     self.load()
   File ".../lib/python3.6/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 165, in
 load
     seek = self.fp.seek
 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'seek'
 }}}

 This could be related to #13750, but I don't think so.
