The Marina Piccola, Capri, 1859

Albert Bierstadt

The Marvelous Sauce, ca. 1890

Jehan Georges Vibert

A corpulent older man wearing a long white apron over his scarlet cardinal’s robes stands with a copper sauce pan in his left hand and a spoon held aloft in triumph in his right while, to the left, a younger man in chef’s hat and coat with an apron partially covering his bright blue, knee-length trousers looks at the spoon held in his right hand with skepticism. A large stove with a massive stone hood appears behind the cardinal, and a table laden with produce and meat appears behind the chef.

L'Ambitieuse (Political Woman), 1883-1885

James Tissot

A woman in an elaborately ruffled pink dress with a large feathered fan enters an ornately decorated ballroom filled with party-goers on the arm of a much older gentleman. She looks left and outward beyond the viewer, while the attention of nearly all other male figures in the scene is directed at her. The textures of various surfaces and fabrics are painted with rich detail and texture, especially the pink dress ruffles gathered on a plush red ottoman at the bottom of the frame.

The Street, Fifth Avenue, 1900-1901 (printed 1903-1904)

Alfred Stieglitz

Venetian Bead Stringers, 1880 or 1882

John Singer Sargent

A standing woman approaches two seated women stringing beads over a shallow wooden bowl in the center right of this painting, which is set in a large, mostly empty room. An open doorway and windows at the back of the room provide limited light. At right, a bench is positioned against a wall. The two seated women wear dark dresses while their standing companion wears a white dress mostly covered with a dark shawl.

Les Falaises de Gréville (The Cliffs of Gréville), 1871-1872

Jean-François Millet

Beneath a looming mass of clouds that fills the top third of this painting, rocky cliffs extend into a calm sea painted in tones of grayish blue and green. A cluster of large gray rocks fills the foreground, and the remainder of the cliffs, dotted with additional clusters of boulders amid pale green grass, extend to fill much of the left half of the canvas. A thin line of white traces where the sea meets irregular, meandering path of the coast.

Chemin de halage à Argenteuil (Towpath at Argenteuil, Winter), 1875-1876

Claude Monet

This wintery landscape features a path that follows a still gray river as it curves from the bottom right corner of the canvas and recede into the distance under an overcast sky. On the right side of the painting, smokestacks on a distant are reflected in the water. Four small figures summarily rendered in dark tones walk on the path, with one appearing to move toward the viewer. To the left is a patch of trees and grass that peeks out beneath melting snow.

Elinor, Jean and Anna, 1920

George Wesley Bellows

L'Age d'Airain (Age of Bronze), 1875-1876 (cast executed 1911)

Auguste Rodin

This life-sized, muscular nude is captured as if in mid-stride, with his right hand raised to clasp his scalp and his left hand raised in a fist. His mouth is open, and his facial features contorted in what appears to be pain or anger.

Femme cousant (Woman Sewing), ca. 1879

Berthe Morisot

La Toilette, 1906

Pablo Picasso

Le Bassin du Jas de Bouffan (The Pool at Jas de Bouffan), ca. 1878-1879

Paul Cézanne

Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes coalesce into the trees and shallow, walled pool that fill this landscape. A thin-trunked tree with light-dappled yellow-green foliage fills much of the left side of the canvas. Behind the tree, a low sandy colored wall contains a shallow, rectangular pool of water. Additional trees with darker green leaves line the right edge of the pool, extending to the upper edge of the canvas.

Mademoiselle Pogany II, 1920

Constantin Brancusi

Notre-Dame, une fin d'après-midi (A Glimpse of Notre Dame in the Late Afternoon), 1902

Le Matin en Provence (Morning in Provence), ca. 1900-1906

Paul Cézanne

Similarly short, distinct brushstrokes primarily in cool shades of green and blue coalesce into a sketchily painted landscape; portions of the canvas are visible. A light green field fills much of the bottom third of the canvas, and the sky above, while largely blue, also includes some green areas. A slender, leafless tree rises from the left edge of the field and curves at its top toward the right and downward. A small, light brown house sits on the right edge of the field.

Die Knieende (Kneeling Woman), 1911

Wilhelm Lehmbruck

Peaceable Kingdom, ca. 1848

Edward Hicks

Paysans dans les champs, Éragny (Peasants in the Fields, Éragny), 1890

Camille Pissarro

A landscape of recently cleared fields and grass covered hills beneath a sunny blue sky filled with white clouds fills this horizontally oriented painting. In the bottom left foreground, a woman holding a basket in her right hand watches as a man thrusts a shovel into the ground. A horse-drawn wagon approaches in the distance, and a child sits in the field toward the right edge of the painting. The entire scene is rendered in individual dots of paint in deep blue, violet, green, orange, and other shades.

Music and Literature, 1878

William Michael Harnett

Croquet Players, 1865

Winslow Homer

Petit nu bleu (Little Blue Nude), ca. 1878-1879

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A young white-skinned woman, nude to the waist, sits on the grassy bank of a body of water in the center of this vertically oriented painting. A blue cloth or portion of a garment with white edges loosely covers her lap. She grasps her left ankle, which rests on her right knee, with both hands, and she gazes toward the bottom left of the canvas. The paint was applied quickly and loosely with visible brushstrokes.

Buffalo Newsboy, 1853
