Answer 3

I think I remember the one your talking about.....she has on a white dress and you cannot see her face because the umbrella covers it. she is walking away from the perspective being downrive. i do not know the name, it looked like a impressionist if it is the same one I am thinking of.I don;t know who painted it but perhaps this description will help someone figure out the right answer

Answer 4

i don't care rather. it would honestly be relaxing just to have a handful of countless artist just to work out how each and each sees me. a photo could tell a a hundred words...yet 10 countless photographs create an entire spectrum of theory. : )

Answer 5

Seurat, Georges
The Seine at Courbevoie

Answer 6

Is it this one: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/morisot/marine.jpg
?
If so, it's Berthe Morisot and it's impressionism. not pointillism.
The painting is called "The Harbour at Lorient". They say Monet loved it so much: he bought it.

Answer 7

Wonder Tricia's answer is absolutely correct. I've never seen or heard of the one you are talking about. If you find out the name of it or the artist, please let us know.
