I wasn't able to find the title of the painting on the postcard. I was, however, able to get the name of the artist. Mykola Kornylovych Pymonenko, sometimes spelled Pimonenko (b. March 9, 1862, Kiev - d. March 26, 1912, Kiev) was a Ukrainian painter. One of the most eminent Ukrainian genre painters Pymonenko was widely acclaimed in the Russian Empire. A number of Pimonenko's paintings are, in fact, generalized portraits which are the embodiment of a popular ideal of the working man. The artist also turned to the theme of peasant labour, depicting typical scenes from everyday life against the backdrop of a landscape.

Portrait of N. S. Semenova by Kiprensky Postcard
I was able to find both the title of the painting on the postcard and a biography of the artist. The painting on the postcard is the work of O.A. Kiprensky and it is entitled "Sibyl of Delph (Portrait of N. S. Semenova)." Orest Adamovich Kiprensky (24 March [O.S. 13 March] 1782-17 October [O.S. 5 October] 1836) was a leading Russian portraitist in the Age of Romanticism. His most familiar work is probably Alexander Pushkin's portrait (1827), which prompted the poet to remark that "the mirror flatters me". The lady in the postcard is Nimfodora Semenova (1788-1876), a Russian actress.
