Hello Curator, I took a picture of the Louvre painting not so long ago. If you wish to compare, you can find it in the category "stairs." Thank you for all your very interesting posts! Best wishes for 2011.
This is a painting based on a print of a now lost Jean-Leon Gerome painting. When the Gerome exhibit was at the Getty museum in LA last year, they had an entire wall of the exhibit dedicated to knock-offs of this painting -- it was apparently quite influential in its day!
Collected here are works by artists who are forgotten, under appreciated, or little known, as well as news, reviews and ephemera from the corners of art history. Works of startling quality can be found beyond the big names in the visual arts, whether it is just one exceptional work, an area of an artists oeuvre, or an entire career worth re-examining.

Beautiful picture to start a New Year!
Wish you a happy one with lots more exciting finds for your blog :)
It should probably be noted that this is after a panel by Rembrandt of the same name, hanging at the Louvre.
Looks like a quick study of the Rembrandt.
very beautiful but ... isn t it an interpretation of a very famous of Rembrandt ?
happy new year, thank you for so much gorgious art
That is just lovely....just the right amount of light makes it an intimate moment caught in time.
Thanks everyone! It is indeed after the Rembrandt, I loved seeing the worn edges of this unframed study.
Bautiful this philosopher.
