Mezzetin ca. 1718-20 Antoine Watteau French Mezzetin, a stock comic character of the Italian commedia dellarte, became an established performer on the Paris stage, but was an innovative subject for painting in Watteaus lifetime. Here Mezzetin inhabits the overgrown gardens beloved by Watteau. His costume was typically comprised of a striped jacket and knee-britches, a floppy hat, a ruff, and a short cape; his personality was by turns interfering, devious, and lovelorn, as indicated by the distant female statue who turns her back to him. Watteaus delicate touch, especially evident in the figures hands and clothing, is exceptionally well preserved in this painting.

Study for Facing the Enemy (from McGuire Scrapbook). Artist: Francis William Edmonds (American, Hudson, New York 1806-1863 Bronxville, New York). Dimensions: 6 7/8 x 6 5/8 in. (17.5 x 16.8 cm). Date: ca. 1845.The present work, inscribed by the artist "Facing the Enemy," is a study for the painting of the same title (Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, Virginia) that Edmonds exhibited in New York at the National Academy of Design in 1845. Both the drawing and the painting portray a carpenter in his shop, seated precariously tilted back on a side chair as he contemplates a decanter of spirits on the windowsill before him. The painting was engraved and distributed with a sermonizing circular by the Temperance Society in 1847, in the heat of the mid-nineteenth-century sobriety movement. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Enigmes Joyeuses pour les Bons Esprits, Plate 8 ca. 1615 Jan van Haelbeeck Eighth plate of a group of 9 plates with small domestic scenes, engraved by Jan van Haelbeeck, which were either were made for, or reused by Jean Leclerc around 1615 in the sonnet series Enigmes Joyeuses pour les Bons Esprits’, in which they were each published with a sonnet that hinted at the double meaning of the activities. In this plate, a woman, dressed in full 17th-century aristocratic style, sits on a chair, next to a table covered with a cloth, playing a cello, inside a room with an open window and furnished with a bed and another chair. The plate accompanies one of the sonnets of the Enigmes, which describes how the woman plays the cello, while also hinting to a slightly more erotic meaning, comparing it to a meeting with a male friend. This double meaning of the images and sonnets of the Enigmes helps explain why most copies of the series, although very popular and influential in their day, have been

The Old Cremona ca. 1887-90 John F. Peto Like many works by Peto, this canvas bears the false signature of his better-known contemporary William Michael Harnett. In 1886 Harnett had painted a successful trompe-loeil (“deceive the eye”) picture called "The Old Violin" (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), which was reproduced in a chromolithograph the following year. Peto may have known the original or the print. Although he borrowed Harnetts composition, he made something quite different of it. By flattening forms and disregarding modeling, he created a decorative pattern with a textural effect that is evocative rather than purely illusionistic.. The Old Cremona 11762
