First, this is a beautiful painting.

Second, I was here about a year ago and found a beautiful painting I saved to my computer (stupidly, without citing.)

Now I'm using it and cannot properly credit the work, or search for it here, as I don't remember who painted it.

Do you happen to recognize the painting at the top of this page?

Thanks so much if you can spare the time. I figured it was worth asking. :-)

Hello Jillian. If it were from my photostream I'd be able to tell you, but it's from someone else's flickr and I don't recognize it, sorry.

Hi!

I just discovered your blog, it looks pretty interesting to me (as far as I can tell after just a few minutes here). There's just a few things about that picture by Georg Friedrich Kersting you show here that I wanted to tell you:
Kersting was not french but german. As far as I know he was a friend of the a lot better known painter Caspar David Friedrich. The original painting can be seen at the "Neue Pinakothek" in Munich, Germany. If you ever happen to get there, take a look inside that museum, it's worth a visit, believe me.

Bye!

The original title of the painting is "Junge Frau nähend" . G.F. Kersting created it in the year 1828.
