Back in the early 90s I was at the Riverwalk mall in New Orleans. At the time they had a store called "The Museum Store." As you would expect it carried a lot of art oriented items.
They had many prints of famous paintings. One in particular sticks in my head. I'm hoping someone can recognize it from a description.
It was late 19th century. A street scene. It showed a couple -- a man and woman walking together. You could only see the back of the man and could not see his face. The woman's face was the focal point of the painting. The only way I could describe it was that she was looking at the man with a face shining full of love. It was so obvious it was breathtaking the way the artist had captured her love and happiness.
It may have been raining or overcast in the painting. I'm not sure about that. It's been too long. What I primarily remember about it was the woman's face.
At the time I didn't know anything about art, so I didn't know to identify a style. Impressionist, possibly, but not the really vague, blurry Impressionist style. More of the detailed style you'd see with a Renoir or Manet. But I wouldn't put much weight on my saying Impressionist given that I didn't know what Impressionism was at the time.
