Nymph Sitting on the Hands of Two Satyrs from Bacchanales, or Satyrs' Games 1763 France. This set of four etchings may refer to ancient bas-reliefs Fragonard saw while visiting Rome with an important antiquarian, the AbbÈ de Saint Non (see 1926.453, .454, and .456). The size of the paired oval and rectangular reliefsóone or more of which might derive from ancient engraved cameos instead of large-scale sculpturesóremains ambiguous, although hidden objects in the surrounding foliage suggest a large scale. Regardless of their source, the popularity of Fragonardís printed reliefs reflected the taste for Neoclassicism in France at this time.. Etching on ivory laid paper . Jean Honoré Fragonard

Japan: 'E-Karuta' (Playing Card), watercolour painting by Shigeru Aoki, 1904, Kawamura Art Museum, Sakura. Shigeru Aoki (1882-1911) was a Japanese painter famed for his combining of Japanese mythology and legends with the Western-style art movement that could be found in some late 19th and early 20th century Japanese paintings. Aoki was born into an ex-samurai household in northern Kyushu. He left his home in 1899 to pursue artistic studies in Tokyo, and soon began to accumulate critical acclaim for his artwork and its use of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood techniques mixed with Kojiki themes. He died in March 1911 from tuberculosis, aged only 28.
