   You are correct!
   The English version of the title is "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of 
the Grande Jatte".

   The following picture didn't turn out very well so I'll identify it. 
It's based on Las Meninas by Velazquez. I sort of cropped the girl on the
left awkwardly. The central figure in the picture didn't turn out very
well no matter how I edited it. I spent longer on this than any other
challenge picture I've posted. Some pictures just don't work. I might have
had more luck if I had done this in 130 column width.
