The portrait

It’s the portrait of a beautiful young woman holding a rose in her hand and smiling. Long black hair is spread over her shoulders, framing a beautifully oval face with pale skin, arched eyebrows, big dark eyes, full lips, and a delicate nose. I have the feeling I have seen her somewhere before, but I cannot recall where exactly.
