The painting is called "Reading Girl" by Gustav Adolph Hennig (1797-1869)
Lovely isn't it? As someone who loves both art and books I thought I'd combine both interests and post a series of paintings showing people reading. So watch this space....
Sounds like an attractive feature. I like to collect digital versions of art, myself -- my desktop background before I recently changed it for Christmas was that of Cicero denouncing Catalina, from a fresco by Cesare Maccari.
Her hands look elegant: do you know the artist's name?
