if you do an image search of any painting or image you like, you can often find someone selling it as a reproduction artwork on canvas or other media.
Many on etsy, ebay, ArtsDot.com, etc..

Here's a link to repros and paintings on canvas of an image I posted a day or two ago:

I once had a friend, who had four boys, and as she would say ~ "boys are just so ornamental".

..and you would have to hear it in her very sweet Alabama accent.

I love the California Legion of Honor. Funded by the infamous Elma Spreckles. Read her autobiography if you get a chance called “Big Elma”.

Alma Spreckles was indeed a famous libertine, who posed nude for the statue of Nike, Godess of Victory, at the top of the column in Union Square. She was 6 feet tall, but she didn't scare Adolph Spreckles. He was the real original "Sugar Daddy" ~so named by Alma. 24 years younger, Alma bore him three children.

She set the stage for how a "trophy" wife could really shake things up when, as a widow, she was in charge of a large fortune.

The best view of the statue is from Macy's terrace, where there was a "Cheescake Factory", not sure if it's still there.
Macy's Union Square will be closing soon, when they find a buyer for the real estate.
