Study of Seated Woman, John Phillip (Aberdeen, Scotland, 1817 - 1867)

Portrait of Martha Sandal by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) The work was produced in 1902.

Seated Female Figure with Upraised Arms, Facing Right. Artist: Veronese School (mid-fifteenth century). Culture: Italian, Verona. Dimensions: 6 13/16 x 4 5/8 in. (17.3 x 11.8 cm). Date: mid-15th century.The very fine, regular hatching and delicate, soft modeling in this drawing differ from the style of Stefano da Verona. Endowing the figure with a classicizing and sculptural quality, the artist, an unknown Veronese draftsman of the mid-fifteenth century, was particularly concerned with the twisting folds of drapery around the figure. The lack of attributes and setting make it difficult to determine her identity or the intended context. The figure may represent a Virtue such as Hope, who is often portrayed with upraised arms, or a Sibyl. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Fumette 1858 James McNeill Whistler American Whistler's mistress Heloise was nicknamed Fumette for her quick temper. Thought to be a gypsy, she worked as a milliner in the Latin Quarter of Paris and lived with the artist for two years. Her bohemian character is suggested here by hair worn loose, in defiance of convention, and crouching pose. Sympathetic to realist and naturalist ideas current in France, the artist avoided idealization or suggestions of universal meaning. Seymour Haden later recorded that Whistler etched the image before leaving for a tour of the Rhineland in mid-August 1868. After his October return, impressions were pulled for publication a month later in "Douze eau-fortes d'apres Nature" ("Twelve Etchings from Nature," known as the "French Set"). Evidently pleased with the print, the artist sent an impression to the Paris Salon of 1859. This impression belonged to Thomas Winans, a Baltimore friend who financed the artist's move to Paris in 1855; Winans kept the print
