Kind of in a hurry here, so bonus pts for someone finding a higher-quality version and more info upon this particular piece.

I've checked this quite thoroughly and it seems this image is an example of AI "slop" getting mixed up with historical art online. This is the real picture that Albert Edelfelt painted.

Appreciate!
Sometimes I don't have time to do proper research on a piece, and it seems like I really did screw up on this one.

Actually, I have an idea-- maybe mark this one "AI-generated" and explain why it's a bad idea to post stuff like this? Anyway, it's a debate...
