Lady Caroline Scott Born 1 October 1743 Died 10 December 1753
If she is the same Lady Caroline Scott, the portrait was made 25 years after her death. (it's from 1778)

" ... in David Mannings' Sir Joshua Reynolds: A Complete Catalog of his Works (Yale University, 2000), there is a portrait of Lady Caroline Scott that depicts a little girl outside in the snow wearing a heavy cloak, carrying a hand muff with a small dog on her right. According to the catalog, this was labeled 'Winter' by an engraver in 1777. If this is the right work, the catalog lists the owner as: Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry, Bowhill, Selkirk (still in the family, apparently)."

I took the link to the picture you posted ( http://mijnposter.nl/thumbs/498/047s.jpeg ) , removed the file itself and tried this: http://mijnposter.nl/thumbs/498/ - where I found out what picture number 47 was.

I was in a bar for a friend's birthday at the weekend and my eye kept being drawn back to this 1960s illustration that was framed on the wall. With apologies for the dismal cameraphone quality (it was pretty dingy in there, hence flash), it's a wall-of-glass beachfront house in classic style from that era and with a couple listening to records in the living room.
No idea who it's by, when it was painted, if the house really exists or anything! I found it very beguiling, but strongly suspect that it's a generic house&home illustration and I've had no luck at all in trying to identify it despite extensive GIS-ing. But maybe it rings a bell with a kind ILXor?

a tineye reverse image search reveals that it's part of a "house of the future" series done by Motorola in 1962. someone on flickr has a lot of related pictures, although I can't figure out who the artist is or what magazine (?) they appeared in.

ah, this site says the artist was Charles Schridde, and they originally appeared in Life.

Reminds me of the cover for Danava's Unonou (which was apparently done by Syd Mead):

"Mad Men: 1982, Don Draper arrives home to wife Megan". Also weirdly reminds me of that abandoned colony level in Mass Effect 2 where the Collectors ship has landed.
Syd Mead = a genius.
