hey....sorry to alarm u but i needed your attention...im looking for a certain painting but forgot the name and artist of the painting which is a real worry....its of a naked lady standing in an open sea shell..she has long flowing hair that is swaying around..to her right is which i suppose is her maid...who is running towards her with a blanket to cover her up..to her left is a woman and a man.hovering in the air..they may be cupids im not sure..the man is holding a horn to his mouth and blowing on it towards her causing some wind or a breeze and therefore making her hair sway..this is one of my fave painting so any help would be so greatly appreciated... if u r Australian...u might know that Elle McPherson had posed for a magazine shoot with the exact pose of the painting..surroundings ect...and i think it was for the womans' weeklymagazine...again thank u for any help from anyone...=)
