"Take the Fair Face of Woman" by Sophie Anderson
At first this looks like a work from Neoclassical times but not with all those butterflies. Apparently Sophie Anderson is a contemporary artist and there are many more examples of her work online.
Zen Yogi: is she the Mystery Lady?
No, ML has freckles so she would be "Take the Fair with Freckles Face of Woman."
Zen Yogi: I like freckles
Me too, Yogi. They're good for spotting vampires too.
Zen Yogi: WTF?
Vampires never have freckles, mate.
ML sometimes likes to take somber works from the past and do just as with this one since they need butterflies. The original artist just didn't see it.
Here's much more detail on Sophie Anderson and thank you, ML, for finding her. It turns out she spent part of her painting career in Cincinnati. (WIKI: Sophie Gengembre Anderson)

Well I found her on WIKI--she lived in Cincinnati in the 1850's. Born in Paris in 1823. She died in England 1903.

How about that Cincinnati connection. The link is very cool and I must add that to the article.
