(13058) Alfredstevens Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 19 November 1990 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
Alfred Stevens (1823-1906) was a Belgian painter with a preference for portraying graceful female subjects, e.g., Salomè (1888). His impressionist friends envied him for his successful paintings, but his style was too realistic for him to be considered an impressionist.Naming citation (20100130/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
