grinnings and felicitations

I am going loco trying to find a painting that I saw in a high school textbook

about 40 years ago.

The painting is tempera and features IIRC a girl holding a red umbrella.

She is standing in the rain and she is reflected in a puddle.

The viewing aspect is from above and to the side.

Very vibrant colors. I have no other clues. _sigh_

Is the work of art work real? Have I misremembered it?

Help, please.

Any of these look like it? Not all of them entirely fit your description, obviously. I found them using “girl ‘red umbrella’” on Google Images:
