This picture shows a painting by French artist Jacques Monory. To the best of my knowledge, the painting is called "Irena nº.5". The picture was scanned off a book that had absolutely no other details about it, apart from the author's last name.

I've been trying for a long time to find out more about it: is it part of a collection or exhibition? Can it be seen anywhere? Is it part of a series on the same subject (as the title seems to imply)? Does the above picture show the whole painting or just a detail?

I'd love to know more about it and buy a reproduction/print. Actually, I'd love to buy the real thing but some of Monory's painting apparently sell for as much as $400,000 apiece, which is way out of my league.
