Question: Find that painting!

Looking for an art print of Romaine Brooks' "Le Trajet".

I've been trying to find a poster print of this (art nude, slightly NSFW) painting for a while, but haven't had any luck through posters.com, art.com, etc etc. Any ideas? I wouldn't be adverse to going to Kinkos and getting a large-scale copy printed myself, if I could find a high enough resolution source image.

I just found Oil Painting Online. They have different levels of quality, and they're more expensive than a print, but still surprisingly reasonable. They seem like they'll do whatever you want.

cmoj: You probably don't realize you're linking to an international art theft site.

Sorry, I mean: They don't sign them, and I seriously doubt that they match brush strokes meticulously, if at all. Between those and the variable sizes I don't see that this would qualify as forgery in any way.

If you're referring to IP, then I don't see how it's different than the OP's hope to get a file large enough to have printed. It's just a reproduction in paint rather than ink.

Is there some news story I missed?
