Jeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of Jerusalem by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669) oil on panel, 1630. Downcast, the biblical prophet Jeremiah leans his tired head on his hand.

Portrait of the Pilgrim (Portrait du pèlerin) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Portrait of the Pilgrim (Portrait du pèlerin), 1886-1896. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 9 1/16 x 5 5/8 in. (23 x 14.3 cm).
