In 1864 she exhibited at the esteemed Paris Salon.

Yes, I agree with Polly! This is definitely Morisot! I knew this one, too.
Interesting. I don't recognize her, but I'm wondering if Kate Bush got the title of that song from the quote?

Senior Pup hid all my Kate Bush casettes!! I haven't seen them for years.
