It's vaguely familiar. It looks like a painting used for a book cover illustration.
This artist mostly worked with female subjects but others paintings are not as... demure as this one.
Gustav Klimt
Lady with cape and Hat, Three Quarter View
1897/98
I was certain it was either Klimt or Munch having repeatedly run across the drawing in one of my books.
Our new mystery painting:

Finally, I can figure one out!
Noel Coward "St Margarets Bay"

I immediately recognized the White Cliffs.
Give me a moment and i'll have one for you

OK, here's the next one:

At the risk of being too obscure, I'll give you a clue up front.
The selection was inspired by another book cover.
EDIT - ...cover on a book that I finished a few weeks ago by a British author.
(The painter is not British)

Two more from our mystery painter:

Is it Dadd?
Oh hang on - he was British....
Scratch that.
I know the artist and know two additional pictures but haven't found the mystery picture title.
Ilya Repin
Preparation for the Examination
Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom
Leo Tolstoy Barefoot

"Preparation for Examiniation" is the book cover image on my copy of "Under Western Eyes" by Joseph Conrad.
