Yes, Kaz (oh and, by the way, you will like it too
).
The name of the painting is "The Happy Mother" and the artist's name was Robert Alexander (1840-1923). The painting was done in oil on canvas and measures 79.4 x 114.3 cm (in other words, it's huge) and the colours are gorgeous golds and rich browns. The wee postcard doesn't do it justice but is better than nothing!!
Many thanks for any help, Kaz, in finding it but it's not exactly famous, like Van Gogh or Rubens!!
