Hi all, New on this forum. I recently bought a print from a discount store to hang in the bathroom. It is either a print of or a detail from quite a well-known painting but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. The only clue I have is that the price tag said "Triumph" and that it was printed by a company in the UK that don't have a website. The painting (or detail) depicts three women in flowing cream-coloured togas, all with quite Roman- looking hair. They are sitting on a marble bench and there is a wooden lattice behind them. Two of the women are asleep and one of them( on the extreme right) is awake. She has taken her right foot onto the bench and she is looking directly at the viewer. Any ideas? TinySue

Wow, slow thread. Actually my delightful husband managed to track the name of the painting down for me. It's called the Dreamers and it's by an Albert Moore. Pending further research, I'm really curious as to what the story behind the painting is and what the significance of one dreamer waking is...fascinating... Later all
