Query: Portrait in Kubrick's "Lolita"

Can anyone identify the portrait of a young woman through which Humbert
Humbert shoots Clare Quilty in Stanley Kubrick's version of "Lolita"?
The painting appears in the film's opening sequence on the ground floor,
but when it serves as the movie's bullet-ridden final image, the
portrait seems to be upstairs, mounted on some kind of easel.
