There's this painting of a red-haired woman lying on her back, eyes closed, hair spread out in a corona around her head and decorated with flowers. The point of view is from directly above the woman, and you see only her face and hair.
Can anybody tell me the name of the painting and/or the author?

I think this picture is inspired by said painting (except that the lady is supposed to be red-haired, and that we see more of her hair in the original painting). I looked at many pre-raphaelite painting and did not seem to find it anywhere, therefore I think it might be of the baroque movement.

By your description the painting might be by one of the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Maybe Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Edward Burne-Jones or John William Waterhouse.
I agree with Lila T. Look at Klimt.

If you had a picture it would help. But it sounds like it would be out of the late 1800's era of painting called Art Nouveau or part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement of that same time period. It could be John Everett Millais or John Waterhouse who were both part fo the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Or, there's a good chance it could be a Gustave Klimt painting who was also of that time period but was more part of Art Nouveau.
