I can't find anything about the subject of this painting. Perhaps it's an illustration? Even if I have no idea what the painting is about, I love Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale. :)

They Toil Not, Neither Do They Spin, 1903

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

The Pale Complexion of True Love, 1899

Watercolor and bodycolor

The title is taken from Shakespeare's As You Like It, Act III, when Corin speaks of Silvius' unrequired love for Phebe as

a pageant truly play'd,
Between the pale complexion of true love
And the red glow of scorn and proud disdain
