    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.

    A clue to the mystery painting:
    The artist was German.

    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.

    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:









    Ha ! Is that big enough for you? !

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

    Pietro da Cortona
    The Golden Age:
