A friend asked for help with the attribution and evaluation.

I'm sorry, but how can there be attribution?
 
This beauty is beyond attributions.

Judging by the keen ear of men and women wreath, is a "Satyr and Nymph."
I have the feeling that the figures painted over the landscape.
 
Maybe - it's a copy from some of the work.

Alas, tineye.com here is absolutely useless, because it analyzes not the images themselves, but only to their "invisible" attributes, which, of course, different from the above zarajara images and those images that are available online.

Everything is much easier. From the very beginning assumed it - or Bouguereau, Cabanel either. (Here are some of their work known to almost everyone: see attachments). Scored in the Google "Bouguereau" - pops up a lot of pictures, got bored looking for a needle in a haystack, especially if you are not sure that it's there. It is necessary to refine the search. Noticed that the male character, despite the pointed ears, normal legs, but not the hoof: therefore, it is not a satyr and the faun. Well, got "Bouguereau Faun" and - voila!

"Mr. Jabez Wilson laughed out loud.
- That's it! - He said. - At first I thought you were God knows what tricky ways guesses, but it turns out, it's that simple.
- I'm starting to think, my dear Watson - Holmes said - that made the mistake of explaining how I came to my conclusions. As you know, "omne ignotum pro magnifico (all for the great unknown is taken (Tacitus))", and my modest fame threatens to collapse, so if I'm honest. "(Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
