OLD BEGGAR WOMAN WITH A GOURD, C.1629. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

Old beggar woman with a gourd, c.1629. Enveloped in partial darkness and clad in ragged clothes, the old beggar woman turns away from the viewer. Rembrandt's striking use of black against white denies the viewer a glimpse at the woman's face while allowing the viewer to notice the unusual gourd attached to her back, providing a container for water. The viewer cannot discern where the woman is or what she is doing, but she appears alone and somewhat helpless, a subject worthy of compassion. Old beggar woman with a gourd, c.1629.

BEARDED OLD MAN IN A HIGH FUR CAP, WITH EYES CLOSED, C.1635. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

Bearded old man in a high fur cap, with eyes closed, c.1635. Sunken shadows follow the old man's weathered face, undulating over his aged skin and full beard. He is depicted in a three-quarter profile, with his eyes closed, and appears a wise, introspective figure - the closed eyes convey thought and perhaps prayer rather than sleep.

MENASSEH BEN ISRAEL, 1636. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

Menasseh ben Israel, 1636. Manoel Dias Soeiro (1604-57), better known by his Hebrew name Menasseh/ Manasseh ben Israel also, Menasheh ben Yossef ben Yisrael, was a Portuguese rabbi, kabbalist, writer, diplomat, printer and publisher, and founder of the first Hebrew printing press (named Emeth Meerets Titsma`h) in Amsterdam in 1626. In 1655, Menasseh came to England from Amsterdam to (successfully) petition the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, to readmit Jews to the country. Menasseh had moved to Amsterdam as a child; the city was an important centre of Jewish life and culture at the time, and Jewish sitters are common in Rembrandt's oeuvre. Menasseh ben Israel, 1636.

SELF-PORTRAIT WITH SASKIA, 1636. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

Self-portrait with Saskia, 1636. The artist and his wife are shown wearing historical clothing. Rembrandt wears a fanciful 16th-century style plumed beret tilted at a jaunty angle and a fur-trimmed overcoat, while Saskia wears an old-fashioned veil. In addition to serving as one of many self-portraits, this small etching can also be regarded as an example of a marriage portrait. The young woman shown seated at the table with Rembrandt is his wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh, then in her early twenties. They had married two years before this etching, and remained together for eight years until Saskia's untimely death at the age of 30. Surprisingly, it is the only etching that Rembrandt ever made of Saskia and himself together. Self-portrait with Saskia, 1636. Creator: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn.

LE CHAPEAU ÉPINGLÉ (PINNING THE HAT), 1894. CREATOR: PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR.

Le chapeau épinglé (Pinning the hat), 1894. The models were Julie Manet, the daughter of Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot and niece of Edouard Manet, and her cousin, Paulette Gobillard. The scene originated from a study Renoir made while on holiday on the coast of Northern France with Morisot and her family. Julie Manet was a favorite model for Renoir and on this occasion he drew her on the beach with her cousin who was adjusting the pin on her large sun hat. Le chapeau épinglé (Pinning the hat), 1894.

BETTY NANSEN, 1905. CREATOR: ANDERS LEONARD ZORN.

Betty Nansen, 1905. Betty Nansen (1873-1943) was a celebrated Danish actress (both stage and film) and director; one of Copenhagen's principal theatres - which she herself managed - bears her name. Alert, vibrant and beautiful, she looks the part - and her impact is only enchanced through the dramatic contrasts of light and darkness in the print. Betty Nansen, 1905.

The dentist, 1523. A dentist, clad in a large, fanciful hat and an ornate robe, probing the teeth of a clearly agonised, impoverished peasant. Immediately behind him stands the dentist's demure woman assistant, who picks the patient's purse. Her pained appearance should not be interpreted as sympathy - rather she is disappointed that the pickings are so slim. The dentist, 1523. Creator: Lucas van Leyden.

CARDINAL ALBRECHT OF BRANDENBURG (THE LARGE CARDINAL), 1523. CREATOR: ALBRECHT DURER.

FARM HANDS, 1922. CREATOR: EDMUND BLAMPIED.

Farm hands, 1922. There is an element of drudgery in the expressions and absolute profiles of the farm hands of the title, who are tipping vegetables into a barrel. They are well past their first youth, and almost certainly the artist is honouring the dignity of unskilled rural labour. Farm hands, 1922. Creator: Edmund Blampied.

He sits astride his horse, at a distance from the raging battle, with his trumpet at his side. Trumpeters needed visibility to sound a charge or retreat, yet his isolation may also symbolize the widespread disillusionment with the French military after the fall of Napoleon in 1815.

The undergarment slipping off her shoulder attracts our gaze, while giving the impression that she is unaware of being observed. The model is thought to have been a resident of Montmartre known for her colorful slang and erratic lifestyle. The image’s suggestive nature is underscored by the presence of the equally sleepy cat resting in her lap. Sleeping Girl, 1880. Creator: Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Madame Escudier, c1883. Sargent painted many members of Parisian high society, among them Louise Lefèvre Escudier. In this informal portrait, she is shown close-up, her direct gaze, tilted head, and slight smile suggesting a lively personality. Her copper-colored hair is accentuated by the deep blue background.

Jane Avril, c1891-92. Jane Avril, one of Toulouse-Lautrec’s favorite models, was a famous cabaret performer in Paris. This portrait, however, suggests very little about the energetic dancing style that earned her the nickname La Melenite (dynamite). She appears in street clothes, wearing a plum-colored cape and an extravagant hat, peering sideways through narrowed eyes. Only the unnatural colors of her hair, skin, and lips, set against the green and indigo background, suggest the heavy makeup and harsh lighting in which she appeared on stage. Jane Avril, c1891-92.
