Jeez. Now I'll have to humiliate my artist nephew because he didn't know. I figured there was a possibility it was a boy....given how they dressed them in all frilly stuff back in the day. WAIT A MINUTE! How did you find out the name of the painting, now displayed proudly in an unfinished garage????

Ginny, I used my mad research skillz.

Actually? Turns out the print was part of a "Famous Artist Series" or some such - there was all kinds of info on the painting and the artist on the back of the canvas. I'd just never bothered to flip it over and look, since it was the frame that I liked.

It does look like it should be part of a larger painting, though, doesn't it?
