Original - A Day of Celebration, Oil on canvas, 1902.
Reason
Shows the painting style of this notable female painter from Sweden. Her work encompasses potraits, landscapes and still life, but she is best known for her indoor scenes of nineteenth century Swedish Bourgeoisie, whereof this painting is perhaps the best example (certainly one of the most widely appreciated ones). This comes hot off the Public Domain rollers because her death was 70 years ago on April 24 this year. (Found via P. S. Burton's user page)
