La Partie De Billard by Jean Beraud (French artist, lived 1849–1935). Beraud was a faithful reporter of all aspects of life in Paris. Friend of Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, I wonder if they played billards together?

Dawn (1907) by Edmund Hodgson Smart (English artist, lived 1873–1942).

“Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed .. 🎶
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more .. ” 🎵

Consulting her lawyer (1892) by Frank Dadd (English artist, lived 1851-1929). I suspect her main problem is that it is 1892.
