I recently viewed the permanent exhibition at the Musee des Beaux Artes in Montreal. There was a painting there that blew me away, by an artist whose first name was Therese. I can't believe it, but I have forgotten her last name! The painting was very large, maybe 60+" x 36" or so, mostly grays in the background, and the subject was a mother with two children. They were dressed in traditional Dutch costume, and the style was very realistic, but somewhat loose. If anyone has seen this painting in its current location, it hangs on a wall immediately to the right of William Bougereau's "Crown of Flowers", in the European Masters section.

I have emailed the museum asking for this information, but haven't heard back from them. Any suggestions, anyone?

Thank you,
Susan Kuban
