Ouch.

Now, I guessed right that this was a painting from GK3

but while I do know a few of the other paintings there, stuff like this never really caught my attention enough...

At least I can say it's not a hugely common painting

I did what I thought was an extensive search, but not being the sought-after art expert probably hurt my chances.

Now, there is a painting by Matisse, "Woman With a Red Umbrella Seated in Profile" that by its name would quite well fit the... profile, but first of all I can't find a picture anywhere and more importantly that painting's not really Matisse's style (the painting I'm talking about sold for $12.4 million in Sotheby's in 1989 by the way)
