Well its not actually a painting as such.....it's a painted postcard......
Reverie by Alphonso Muscha
Mucha was the creator/originator of ART Nouveau (French for new art style)
Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed haloes behind the women's heads. In contrast with contemporary poster makers he used paler pastel colors.
I recommend you all look up his Art Nouveau work to get a feel for his style (Google).
