    I suspect that that's Rolla by Henry Gervex, on account of the link leads to a page that shows the picture and its caption, which says 'Rolla - Henry Gervex'.

    Please accept my apologies for the Henri Gervex mishap.
    The picture you posted was 'Rain, steam and speed' by Turner, which appears to have been removed by photobucket.

    Yes I like August Macke too.

    I would be interested to see your picture but I'm not able to access it.

    I don't know what's happening, I tried to post a painting several times, but it just didn't appear in the post
    I inserted the copy of URL of the painting, and still nothing.
    Is there another way to do it? If it's inapropriate to write about it here, can you, or someone else, please be so kind to tell me where on forum can I find solution of this problem (if there is any, if not - I'll start new thread).


    @Kyriakos - the topic is great! A lot can be learned! Thanks for starting it!

    I have been unable to trace this painting. Is it a detail of a larger picture?

    No, that is the original format. I mean, the original format of the Internet picture
    I've seen it last year on an exhibition in Zagreb, and fell in love with it and with the author.
    Try a bit harder, he is everywhere on the Internet!

    I haven't been able to trace the artist. It looks as though it may have been an allegorical painting by Goya, although something about the flowers and cloth seem familiar.

    Hm, maybe it's not that well known as I thought it would be...
    It's Otto Dix, german expressionist, and the painting is named Still life with Widow's Veil.
