Picture of a seated lady

[magicgirl74]

I've been looking for a painting for so long: a lady at a piano/dressing table with long, frizzy red/blonde hair seen partly from the rear.  I seem to remember that it's late Victorian/Pre-Raphaelite. Can anyone help me identify the picture or artist, please?

You could try Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "Bocca Baciata"which seems to fit the lady's description although that isn't painted from the rear as far as I can remember.

Thanks, Maggi, it's a beautiful picture but not the one I am telling myself I remember.

The Awakening Conscience, by William Holman Hunt, has frizzy red hair, but she's not seated and it's not a rear view.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti seems to be the most likely artist. There are several painted from the side though I have not found one from the rear yet.
