Sophie Gengembre Anderson

I think we've all seen this picture by this amazing artist. She was born in France and later moved to Britain and lived from 1823- 1903 and did mostly portraits of women and children, but this painting here, Take the Fair Face of Woman, has wings, which is fairy enough for me. Here is a short biography http://www.theworldsartist.com/sophie_anderson.asp
