Rolling Tiger (Tigre se roulant) Antoine-Louis Barye (French, 1795-1875). Rolling Tiger (Tigre se roulant), ca. 1840. Watercolor and opaque watercolor on wove paper, sheet: 9 5/16 × 11 5/16 in. (23.7 × 28.7 cm). The sculptor, painter, and printmaker Antoine-Louis Barye specialized in naturalistic depictions of fierce beasts, which appealed to the Romantic tastes of mid-nineteenth-century French audiences. This watercolor is based on his visits to the menagerie in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, and may be an elaborated version of a study made on the spot. The particular texture of this work indicates that it might be a transfer watercolor,” a kind of print process created by pressing a still-wet watercolor against a blank sheet of damp paper to make another impression. European Art ca. 1840

Still Life with Corn. Artist: Charles Ethan Porter (1847-1923). Dimensions: 10 1/2 × 17 in. (26.7 × 43.2 cm).

Its acquisition further strengthens and expands the American Wing's holdings of work by nineteenth-century African American artists. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Dragon Arum, Black Calla or Solomon's Lily, 1799-1807. Robert John Thornton (British, 1768-1837), William Ward (British, 1776-1826). Mezzotint; In the 18th century, new engraving and etching techniques offered a variety of tonal effects that enhanced botanical prints. While mezzotint (in which the plate is roughened and then the engraver works from dark to light creating different values) and stipple (dots create values) make it possible to create the rich tonal scale and velvety texture of oil paint, aquatint imitates the delicacy and transparency of watercolor and ink wash.

Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): Rooster (Chabo), 1909-10. Kamisaka Sekka (Japanese, 1866-1942). Color woodcuts with gold and silver; sheet: 29.9 x 22.1 cm (11 3/4 x 8 11/16 in.).
