Was too lazy to suggest someone’d continue this thread. Yay for, um, continuation!
My guess:
Dutch, late 19th century? (For some reason the colours make me think it’s Dutch.)

You’re both generally right as to the approx era but not the country!
Please continue.

I would guess American. Is it Andrew Wyeth? The colors and mood feel like him to me.

The girl in the shadows reminds me somehow of Goya, so I would say Spain, but the other girl doesn’t…

Zorn was the first name that popped into my head for some reason, don’t recognise it though…

Ireland ? I mean you are from Ireland, so why not ? 
No actually, it reminded me a little of the laundries where women who had children without being married were kept for their entire lifes and had their children taken away from them … probably after I noticed you were from Ireland - should fit with the era also perhaps ?

Yes, please!
Let’s see, it’s not Dutch, French, American… could it be German or Scandinavian?

It is indeed Ireland! Congratulations!
You’re on the right track!
One thing-- the women weren’t kept there for their whole lives- they were only kept there WHILE they were pregnant and while their babies were young- and only if they didn’t live with their parents. The babies weren’t always taken away as well, it was encouraged though unless the mother showed that she was able to support the child with no father around in the (tough!) economic climate of Ireland in these days.

Ha ha, you see - I’ve got the “nose” for it ! No, really - it was really only because I saw your were from Ireland.
Did you see that movie about the laundries ? I haven’t seen it myself yet, but saw an interesting documentary once on TV.

Not Bob Ross!
I mean that in both senses of the word ‘noooooo!’… will I just tell you who it is?
Will I?
