"My Wife, the Queen" by Prince Philip.

I think the correct title is The Queen at Breakfast but you are close enough.

I think the correct title is "La Soif" (Thirst) by Bouguereau but you are close enough.

My ignorance is showing. I had to look up "Arcady", then realized the variant I am familiar is "Arcadia". Now that I'm on the same page, you are getting warm with your interpretation of the subject, but it is known by another term.

Clue: The painter also practiced architecture



.

A better clue might be a reproduction a bit larger than a postage stamp.:sosp:

Believe me, I tried.
That was the largest I could find.

Let me see if I can dig up another painting, or should I say; "fresco".

OK, here are two more by the mystery painter:

Much better... at least I can recognize the nationality of the artist and the period:

Pietro da Cortona
