Not everyone has a picture of their great, great, grandmother in a public museum.

The interesting question here is: Is she related to the original model?

I need to find this woman! We were married three lifetimes ago, and got separated by circumstance!

The painting is William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "The Broken Pitcher", 1891, in France. The model would be researchable, she was one of 3 sisters that he used as models for many years.

Right down to the natural curl in her lips.. and the way the side crease of her lips dimple when her lips are closed...to the natural curls and color of the hair...heck...even their outfits are almost the same colour! ! ..This is down right Mesmerizing!!

Looks like a Bouguereau painting. There's a dozen others that used the same model for that young lady to find

Imagine if you visited a few years younger, the painting would have been a mirror image. Nonetheless, I see an unmistakable resemblance.
