Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Artist: Kenyon Cox (American, Warren, Ohio 1856-1919 New York). Dimensions: 33 1/2 x 47 1/8 in. (85.1 x 119.7 cm). Date: 1887, replica 1908.Cox and Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) met in Paris in the 1870s and exchanged portraits in 1887: an oil painting for a bronze relief. The original canvas was lost in Saint-Gaudens's 1904 studio fire, so Cox created this replica in time for the Metropolitan Museum's 1908 memorial exhibition of the sculptor's work. Saint-Gaudens is shown in his New York studio, modeling in clay a portrait relief of the artist William Merritt Chase. A bronze likeness of the sculptor's son, Homer, hangs on the wall (the Museum owns a marble replica; 05.15.2). Cox cleverly echoed his friend's portrait reliefs by showing him in profile. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Funding Bill. Artist: Eastman Johnson (American, Lovell, Maine 1824-1906 New York). Dimensions: 60 1/2 x 78 1/4 in. (153.7 x 198.8 cm). Date: 1881.In 1881, bankers and businessmen were profoundly alarmed by a bill in Congress about the refunding of the national debt. The man at the left on the sofa is Robert W. Rutherford, a relative by marriage of the painter, and the attentive listener beside him is the artist, Samuel W. Rowse. When these responsible citizens were discussing the bill in Johnson's own parlor, he saw in their appearance and attitudes the subject for a picture and made a study before doing this large, finished work. Portraiture is combined with genre, because both men are unposed and their intellectual exchange is really the theme of the work. Eastman Johnson consistently chose truly native American subjects, and his portraits reveal personality with unusual forthrightness and absence of drama. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Arab Jeweler ca. 1882 Charles Sprague Pearce Boston-born Charles Sprague Pearce belonged to the generation of American artists who increasingly settled in France in the post-Civil War years. Like that of his celebrated Parisian teacher, Leon Bonnat, Pearce explored a range of subjects throughout his successful expatriate career. A four-month excursion along the Nile in the early 1870s led to a particular interest in "exotic," or Orientalist themes, such as this ambitious portrayal of a native craftsman..
