Well, this isn't a Caribbean themed photo, but, it was a painting I grew up with. I need to ask my mom about this - where she got it from, and why she liked it.A Young Girl Reading - Oil on Canvas - Rococo 1776
This painting was one of a series of paintings featuring young girls. Although the model in this painting is unidentified, it may well have been Fragonard’s daughter, who frequently worked as one of his models. Contemporary x-rays have revealed that this painting, depicting a young girl in a sunshine yellow dress, deeply absorbed in her reading, was painted over a different image. As in many of Fragonard’s paintings the viewer gets the impression that he or she is witnessing a private moment, and is at once struck by the beauty and intimacy as well as the desire to give the girl her privacy and let her read.

Asked Mom about this over the weekend. She said it was in the house on 17th road when we moved in... left there by the previous owner.
