A presumedly excellent photo of the original "Kreutzer Sonata" painting by Prinet is available at Lebrecht Music and Arts Photography. Go to the second page of "results" at this link, and in the second row down you'll find an offering of the painting as a "stock photo." This is the Tabu ad without the Tabu bottle.

Elsewhere on the site it indicates that the available file has a Download size of 2,243 Kb, and uncompresses to 16,601 Kb. This would be an "excellent quality" image, probably suitable for printing the painting about 28 inches tall at 150 dpi, or larger with lesser resolution.

I did not check out the "commercial realities" of the site, as I have an aversion to clicking anything labelled "add to basket." Those with sufficient resources for investigation of such things, or more curiosity than I have, are invited to inquire further at the site.

The "thumbnail," which can be copied and saved, is "watermarked" to prevent its use. It would require considerable detail work to remove the watermark, and it is unlikely that it could be "worked up" to much beyond about 5x7 inch, if that, without considerable fuzziness. The thumbnail shows a bit of grunge and grime in the background, but it's hard to say whether it's due to the small size of the thumbnail or whether it might be present in the available large image (and on the original painting).

An incidental new bit of information is that several newly appearing sources quote a reference to "Prinet's painting of the Kreutzer Sonata" in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. For some unfathomable reason, all of the English language sites where the quote appears seem to be on university physics department servers. Perhaps "Lolita" is the code name for some new piece of physics apparatus??????

About 30% of the returns by MSN search for "Prinet+Kreutzer+Sonata currently are to this thread. Perhaps our repeated searchings have produced the other newer hits.
