Whistling for Plover Thomas Eakins (American, 1844-1916). Whistling for Plover, 1874. Transparent watercolor and small touches of opaque watercolor over graphite on cream, moderately thick, moderately textured wove paper., 11 5/16 x 16 11/16 in. (28.7 x 42.4 cm). The Philadelphia Realist painter Thomas Eakins executed exhibition watercolors during a brief period of his career. In this bird-hunting scene set in the marshes of southern New Jersey, he used dry, tightly controlled brushstrokes to model his central figure and more fluid washes for the landscape. While the subject matter and academic approach (including extensive preparatory studies) parallel his work in oil, the artist preferred watercolor for this sun-drenched picture because it allowed him to paint in a much higher key with all the light possible.” American Art 1874

The Beach at Deauville, 1864. Eugène Boudin (French, 1824-1898). Oil on wood panel; framed: 45.7 x 36.8 x 3.5 cm (18 x 14 1/2 x 1 3/8 in.); unframed: 34.7 x 26 cm (13 11/16 x 10 1/4 in.). During the 1860s, Boudin executed many paintings and watercolors representing well-to-do tourists and vacationers enjoying seaside resorts in Normandy, principally Trouville and Deauville. In this scene, the informally posed figures suggest a sense of relaxation and intimacy. The overturned chair in the foreground underscores the impression of a casually observed moment, as though a sea breeze or a quick departure by its former occupant has upended it. The majority of Boudin's small oil paintings of beach scenes of the 1860s were executed on wood panel. After laying down a thin white ground, Boudin seems to have begun painting directly, not drawing or laying in guidelines for the forms. The result is a freshness and airiness appropriate to a windy day at the beach.

Young Ladies of the Village. Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819-1877 La Tour-de-Peilz). Dimensions: 76 3/4 x 102 3/4 in. (194.9 x 261 cm). Date: 1851-52.This painting, which initiated a series of pictures devoted to the lives of women, shows Courbet's three sisters--Zélie, Juliette, and Zoé--strolling in the Communal, a small valley near his native village of Ornans. One of the girls offers alms to a young cowherd. Courbet had high hopes for the work, but when it was exhibited at the Salon of 1852, critics attacked it as tasteless and clumsy. They reviled the models' common features and countrified costumes, the "ridiculous" little dog and cattle, and the overall lack of unity, including traditional perspective and scale.

Every Saturday Arthur B. Davies (American, 1862-1928). Every Saturday, ca. 1895-1896. Oil on canvas, 18 x 29 15/16 in. (45.7 x 76 cm). This lyrical vision of three women walking in a rural landscape has a quaint, almost nostalgic mood. The title, Every Saturday, implies that the three traversed this path beside the duck pond with regularity, yet we are left to speculate about their purpose or destination. An early work by Arthur Davies, the painting testifies to his poetic and individual aesthetic, which reflected his admiration for the art of Albert Pinkham Ryder and prompted his patron, the famous collector Duncan Phillips, to describe him as "a painter of dreams" and an "enchanter."

Shepherd Tending His Flock Jean-François Millet (French, 1814-1875). , early 1860s. Oil on canvas, 32 3/16 x 39 9/16 in. (81.8 x 100.5 cm). Jean-François Millet dedicated his career to heroic and bleak depictions of the peasants of Barbizon, where he lived. Here, he endows a shepherd with an imposing monumentality, head haloed against the sky as he stands among his flock like a Christ figure. Such images were widely perceived in France and the United States as reflecting the inherent spirituality of peasants. For some, Millets work did not represent an idealized rural past, but an unadorned vision of contemporary rural poverty. A few years after the Civil War, one American writer saw in his imagery “the patient, hopeless weariness of the overtasked workman.. We saw the unpaid slave of our country, the pauper workman of France and England.” Conservative critics scorned his work, viewing his subjects as ugly, animal-like figures prone to revolution.
