The Rommel-Pot Player 1625-1635 Netherlands. Renowned chiefly for his insightful portraits, Frans Hals also painted lively scenes of revelers and peasants at the beginning of his career. Particularly popular was his image of a Shrovetide entertainer who stirs a rommel-pot to delight a crowd of children with its screeching noise. The composition was frequently copiedóthis version was once given to Hals himself and later assigned to Judith Leyster, who probably worked in Halsís Haarlem workshop about 1630. However, the painting does not show Judith Leysterís distinctive style and should instead be considered to be the work of an unknown close follower of Hals paraphrasing his virtuoso brushwork.. Oil on panel . Follower of Frans Hals

The Pardon in Brittany. Artist: Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (French, Paris 1852-1929 Quincey). Dimensions: 45 1/8 x 33 3/8 in. (114.6 x 84.8 cm). Date: 1886.Like many of his contemporaries, Dagnan-Bouveret was fascinated by the religious customs of Brittany in northern France. In this scene, penitents wearing traditional regional dress proceed solemnly around a church. Some go barefoot or kneel to demonstrate remorse. Annotated drawings on the reverse of the canvas indicate that the painter's wife posed for the young woman in the foreground. When the picture was shown at the 1887 Salon and the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, critics applauded its exactitude--unsurprising, as Dagnan-Bouveret used photographs to aid his work. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Chess Players. Artist: Thomas Eakins (American, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1844-1916 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 11 3/4 x 16 3/4 in. (29.8 x 42.6 cm). Date: 1876.In this painting, the artist's father watches a chess game between two friends in a Renaissance Revival parlor of a Philadelphia home. Eakins honored his father with a Latin inscription on the drawer of the chess table, which translates as "Benjamin Eakins's son painted this in '76." A reproduction of a painting by Eakins's principal French teacher, Jean-Léon Gérôme, hangs over the mantel. Eakins adhered to Gérôme's academic lessons in his careful spatial construction and meticulous detail. In 1881 The Chess Players became the first work to be accepted by the Metropolitan Museum as a gift from a living artist. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
