Name of the Painting in the old Tabu Ads?

Question

I'd like to learn the name of the painting that Tabu perfume used in its ads for years. It had a woman playing a piano and a man holding a violin swept up in a passionate embrace. (sometimes they were reversed, man at piano, woman with violin). Can any please tell me its name and if there is any place to buy a copy?

Update:

If no one knows the name of the painting, can someone figure out how to actually make contact with the Dana perfume company to ask them? I keep getting links to nowhere.

The website http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.gr/search/label/optical%20scentsibilities says:
"Tabu the fragrance, coming out in 1932, isn't that far removed from the painting that actually inspired the iconography of this advertisement, which is The Kreutzer Sonata painting by René François Xavier Prinet in 1901. (Itself inspired by the homonymous Leo Tolstoy novella which dramatizes a husband's jealous rage over a wife's "animal excesses" and making a case for sexual abstinence, the literary artwork itself referencing Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, originally dedicated to the violinist George Bridgetower who by insulting the morals of a woman in Beethoven's admired list lost the dedication to his peer, Kreutzer. Talk about meta-galore and war of the sexes on this one!)"

I know the ad and the illustration but it's been a long time.  If you're that interested, any art center or museum will help you

Good luck
