Excellent portraitist. Seems to me very lovely the look of Hilda Clark Flower, directed slightly upward, as if to contemplate the painter who portrays her. Beautiful and full of feeling also seems to me the Divinity of Motherhood.

Well said, Vincenzo. That one caught my eye as well.

Heh, I thought she looked familiar.
“Hilda Clark (1872 – May 5, 1932) was an American model and actress. She was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, to Lydia and Milton Edward Clark. As a young adult she moved east to Boston to become a popular music hall songstress and actress. However, Clark became famous as a model in 1895 when she became the first woman to be featured on a tin Coca-Cola tray. Hilda Clark remained the advertising ‘face’ of Coca-Cola until February 1903 when she married Frederick Stanton Flower in New York, taking the name Hilda Clark Flower.”
I used to work for Coca-Cola. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_Clark and click on the “1890s advertisement showing model Hilda Clark in formal 19th century attire. The ad is entitled Drink Coca-Cola 5¢.” Anyone who has worked for that company for a while knows this image of the very first Coca-Cola girl.

The Coca-Cola ad is brilliant and highly innovative too, but Naegele’s portrait does full justice to Hilda’s beauty.
