I wonder if anyone can identify a painting from this description (I would attach the picture but I understand attachments are verboten.) Sene is a garden with high grass and flowers. A woman wearing a rose colored dress with a yellow bodice is sitting, holding a child (madonna??) A group of six children (putti??) are gathering flowers, and one of them is handing a flower to the child in the woman's lap. In the background are four doves, and in the distance is a palatial building (temple?) Behind the woman are trees and an elaborate railing, with an urn on top. The woman's hairstyle is decidedly 1920's. We think it looks like a a chromolithograph, but it is framed with the label of an art dealer in Saxony on the back.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
