From Wiki: Portrait of an Unknown Woman, also known as The Unknown Woman, An Unknown Lady or Stranger is a painting by the Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi, drawn in 1883. The model, whose identity is unknown, is a woman of "quiet strength and forthright gaze". It is one of Russia's best-known art works, although a number of critics were indignant when the painting was first exhibited and condemned what they saw as a depiction of a haughty and immoral woman. Its popularity has grown with changes in public taste

Figured she was Russian. It's the first time I've seen it. Thanks for posting it.
@ Fred: When I saw it I immediately thought she was Russian. She had that 'look' about her [lol]
