Portrait of Scarlett O'Hara

Saw this painting in the Musee D'Orsay in Paris last week. Immediately thought of Scarlett O'H. The real woman is Madame de Loynes, the Comtesse de Loynes and the painting was painted in the 1850s, making her a contemporary of Scarlett. As we know, Ellen O'H was of French heritage.

It's a coincidence, of course, but a fun discovery in the middle of a museum visit.

If you copy and paste the link into your url line it should come up. Looks like this forum won't allow automatic links.
