Three Women /The Nude Dancer

I got a comment about my painting “Three Women”. https://blog.mariko-irie.com/2013/03/three-women/

567. Three Women Watercolor Painting by Mariko Irie

“Nice painting, but I think it is not Eakins. I searched the museum’s collection and came up with two paintings by Thomas Eakins, but not this one.
I would guess a more recent artist, probably from California.”

And then I got more curious to know the Artist and Title of he painting inside of my painting. So I e-mailed to The San Diego Museum of Art.

I got a response:

Hello Mariko,
