Google says there are at least a couple of other versions online:

Both pictures are stamped "Assouline", which is some kind of high-end boutique.

I think the original is a turn-of-the-century illustration by Arthur Rackham or someone of that style, presumably of Scheherazade from the Thousand-and-one Nights.

WOW! Thanks John!! with the info you gave me i found that the illustrator of that particular art work is Léon Carré.

thank you very much!

Thanks, but the WOW rightfully belongs to Google's new "reverse" image search. Like IBM's Jeopardy-playing Watson, when it's wrong it can be way, way off, but when it's right it can be a scary powerful tool.
