alb3680758 Merry Company on a Terrace. Artist: Jan Steen (Dutch, Leiden 1626-1679 Leiden). Dimensions: 55 1/2 x 51 3/4 in. (141 x 131.4 cm). Date: ca. 1670.In this late painting of about 1673-75, Steen casts himself as the inebriated innkeeper on the left. The artist's second wife, Maria, probably modeled for the provocatively posed hostess (she wears an apron) in the center. Her glass and the fat man's jug are sexually suggestive, but the woman's familiarity with the young musician and the shape of his cittern suggest that he has more to offer her. The overdressed boy serves as a marginal remark about the adults' behavior: a bridled horse and a whip usually stand for Temperance, but not when hitched to a spoiled brat and his indignant dog. The man with a sausage pinned to his hat is Hans Wurst, a fool familiar from the comic stage. Steen wittily blends symbols and themes (for example, child-rearing and the Garden of Love) into an original creation, quite as the picture's style seems to blend oil and water by mixing the manners of Gerard ter Borch and Jacob Jordaens. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Jan Steen.

alb3677807 The Visit. Artist: Pieter de Hooch (Dutch, Rotterdam 1629-1684 Amsterdam). Dimensions: 26 3/4 x 23 in. (67.9 x 58.4 cm). Date: ca. 1657.Two women of uncertain reputation entertain visiting gentlemen. While rich in shadowy effects, this picture is one of the first in which De Hooch employed linear perspective to construct a realistic interior space (the bed, however, is underscaled). At the time, he was exchanging ideas with Vermeer, whose influence is evident in the most luminous passages. The French art critic Thoré-Bürger assigned this panel to Vermeer in his pioneering articles of the 1860s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3626305 Woman with a Rake. Artist: Jean-François Millet (French, Gruchy 1814-1875 Barbizon). Dimensions: 15 5/8 x 13 1/2 in. (39.7 x 34.3 cm). Date: probably 1856-57.Millet first treated this subject in a woodcut, one of ten in the series Labors of the Fields that were published in a popular periodical in 1853. The art dealer Martinet, in whose gallery such avant-garde artists as Courbet and Manet exhibited, included this painting in a show in 1860. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3675059 The Stolen Kiss. Artist: Jean Honoré Fragonard (French, Grasse 1732-1806 Paris). Dimensions: 19 x 25 in. (48.3 x 63.5 cm). Date: ca. 1760.One of a few highly finished works painted by Fragonard during his first Italian sojourn, the canvas was painted between 1756 and 1761. It belonged to the Bailli de Bréteuil, who was ambassador to Rome from Malta. While the figure group reminds us that Fragonard was trained under Boucher, the intensity, the color harmonies, and the warm, dark atmosphere are his own. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3623760 Madame Jacques-Louis Leblanc (Françoise Poncelle, 1788-1839). Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 47 x 36 1/2 in. (119.4 x 92.7 cm). Date: 1823.For this portrait there are more than two dozen drawings investigating a variety of poses (Musée Ingres, Montauban). Similar studies do not exist for the likeness of Madame Leblanc's husband (19.77.1). The two paintings--the only pair of portraits Ingres produced--were probably intended to hang facing one another, since the light falls differently in each, but they are unified by the visual harmony of hands, gold chains, and rich textiles that enhance the couple's black clothing. This work, however, was exhibited without its pendant at the Salon of 1834. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: JEAN AUGUSTE DOMINIQUE INGRES.

alb3608842 Tea. Artist: James Tissot (French, Nantes 1836-1902 Chenecey-Buillon). Dimensions: 26 x 18 7/8 in. (66 x 47.9 cm). Date: 1872.When Tissot moved to London in 1871, he immersed himself in the local scene, with work for Vanity Fair and genre paintings with the river Thames as backdrop. This canvas is a repetition of the left-hand portion of one of his most famous London pictures, Bad News (National Museum of Wales, Cardiff), which shows a captain and his girlfriend absorbing the news of his imminent departure while a companion prepares tea, with the Pool of London in the background. Here, the view is of the dense cityscape beyond that stretch of the river. Tissot's friend Degas owned a pencil study for this work. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3655792 View from the Quai d'Orsay. Artist: Johan Barthold Jongkind (Dutch, Latrop 1819-1891 La-Côte-Saint-André). Dimensions: 17 1/4 x 26 in. (43.8 x 66 cm). Date: 1854.This view from the left bank of the Seine River encompasses the Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre, at left, and the Palais d'Orsay and Hôtel de Salm (Palais de la Légion d'Honneur), at right. Yet the prominence of the industrial barges and crane underscore the appeal of Paris's working waterfront to Jongkind's aesthetic sensibility. Jongkind first moved from Holland to France in 1846, sketching along the banks of the Seine from 1849 onward. In his studio, he transformed the sketches into oil paintings such as this one, which he showed in the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3607821 Madame Edmond Cavé (Marie-Élisabeth Blavot, born 1810). Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 16 x 12 7/8 in. (40.6 x 32.7 cm). Date: ca. 1831-34.The sitter was an artist who exhibited regularly at the Salon and was also the author of popular drawing manuals. At the time Ingres painted her, she was married to one of his pupils, Clément Boulanger (1805-1842). Traces of a curving edge on the surface of the canvas indicate that the portrait had been framed as an oval before Ingres added the dedication to her as Madame Cavé, which must have taken place a decade later, after she remarried. Ingres's 1844 portrait of Monsieur Cavé (43.85.2) was conceived as a pendant to the present work. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
