Mrs. Walter Rathbone Bacon (Virginia Purdy Barker, 1862-1919) 1897 Anders Zorn Swedish Zorn found a loyal and enthusiastic clientele among upper-class Americans like Virginia Bacon and her family. Her brother-in-law, Edward, commissioned this portrait along with one of himself, now also in The Met (19.112). Virginia sat for Zorn in 1897, during his third visit to the States. With assured, fluid brushwork and soft color harmonies, he portrayed his sitter in a moment of unaffected grace, hugging her collie dog. The dynamic, diagonal composition and high vantage point, unusual in the artists work, may be a bid to rival John Singer Sargent, who painted Virginia the previous year (Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina)..

A 'harem' is not a bordello, seraglio or brothel, but refers to the women's quarters, usually in a polygynous household, which are forbidden to men. It originated in the Near East and is typically associated in the Western world with the Ottoman Empire. Female seclusion in Islam is emphasized to the extent that any unlawful breaking into that privacy is haram ie, 'forbidden'. A Muslim harem does not necessarily consist solely of women with whom the head of the household has sexual relations (wives and concubines), but also their young offspring, other female relatives or odalisques, which are the concubines' servants. The harem may either be a palatial complex, as in Romantic tales, in which case it includes staff (women and eunuchs), or simply their quarters, in the Ottoman tradition separated from the men's selamlik. A hammam is a common bath house.

Mother Playing with Child. Artist: Mary Cassatt (American, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1844-1926 Le Mesnil-Théribus, Oise). Dimensions: 25 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (64.8 x 80 cm). Date: ca. 1897.Cassatt applied pastel in thick strokes and blended it into a very fine texture and sometimes into the paper itself, as did Edgar Degas. Her repetition of a particular subject--women with children--also may have been inspired by Degas, who reiterated themes, such as ballerinas and bathing women, in accordance with his credo: "It is essential to do the same subject over again, ten times, a hundred times. Nothing in art must seem to be chance, but even movement." Cassatt used this pastel as the basis for the last of her major prints, Picking Daisies in a Field (ca. 1896-97), which remained unfinished.

The Curious Little Girl. Artist: Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796-1875 Paris). Dimensions: 16 1/4 x 11 1/4 in. (41.3 x 28.6 cm). Date: 1860-64.Although Corot's celebrity rests on his landscapes, his contemporaries were partial to his figure paintings, especially scenes drawn from contemporary life that he made toward the end of his career. Appreciated for their unaffected grace and serenity--what the French critics called <i>naïveté</i>--these works were eagerly sought by collectors. Corot's friends recalled that he looked forward to painting them as a refreshing break from routine. The girl depicted here resembles Emma Dobigny, who later became his favorite model.
