Your help is needed! Suggest the portrait of woman for my Wall of Women art project! [View all]

I have a collection of images of women painted/sculpted by great artists on the wall behind my computer desk. I have one empty space. Please suggest one that I can use to fill it. They are all printed off the Internet, so I'll need something I can print fairly easily.

There are 16 women there now (from left to right and in columns of 3 and 2): Klimt (not Adele), Leonardo (angel Uriel), Millais, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec (poster), Renoir, Michelangelo (head shot of Bruges Madonna), Vermeer, Matisse, Sherold (painting of Michelle Obama), Ringgold, Bernini, Goya, Sargent (El Jaleo), Lippi, Liebowitz B and W photo portrait of Maya Angelou.

I avoid nudity as it is distracting to some. The Goya duchess is a head shot (but it is the one of her clothed anyway). The Matisse is fauvist to add a big shot of color.

A tondo might be nice.

The new portrait will be situated next to Manet's Woman at the Bar of the Folies Bergere, so we've got a little still life of bottles and a bowl of oranges there.

I hope to get a photo of my finished wall to you SOON!
