I think Joanie has it. Although I still can't find the title online.

I believe Claude Monet is the father of impressionism but I can't find the title to this one. I don't believe I've ever seen it. It surely can't be one of his most popular paintings.

Oh naturally Nair - I have no doubt. I would love to be as knowledgeable as you. The most I can do is try to analyse the style... at least set the painting within a period - but even that I find difficult.
Kudos to you!

It's taking me 15 years to built my dictionary and its not half way there and probably never will. But it's great fun. To see the life of others and sometimes identify with are one...it's very fullfilling for me. Any way the next photo is: Hints: women, academic classic painter Good luck Nair

Is it William-Adolphe Bouguereau. I'm pretty sure it isn't but the style is very similar in some of his paintngs.

Elizabeth Jane Gardner (later to be Elizabeth Jane Bouguereau) "Bubbles"
I have to be humble and admit that Rose's guess helped a lot.

This one is typical for this artist. It may be easy for some of you. Hint: This artist was close friends with the most well known pastellist of all time (arguably)

Argh! From the style I would have said Singer Sargent too. So if this is fairly typical of the artist then I think I'm a little at a loss here.
Just one question - is the painter French?

Not French, although this person lived there most of his life. You should see many upper class women in his paintings, and sometimes their pets as well...
