Job Lot Cheap
A tumbled pile of dilapidated old books for sale

Still Life - Violin and Music
A violin, bow, piccolo, sheet music, horseshoe, and a box of matches hanging on the back of a yellow door with rusted hinges

Ease
A table with a worn fancy cover piled high with things for leisure time and relaxation: roses and daisies in vases, a violin and flute, sheet music, books, letters, a newspaper, matches, a lamp, a jar with scissors in it, and a palmetto fan. Apparently the owner has not had much time for pleasure lately because cobwebs festoon everything. (1887)

The Old Cupboard Door
A dark brown, rather battered cupboard door with a ledge, festooned with a variety of objects. A violin, sheet music, a tambourine with a translucent head, a newspaper clipping and a key are hung from the door. On the ledge are a small bronze statuette, a china vase holding a pink rose, a candlestick and candle, several dilapidated books, and a shell. (1889)

Childe Hassam

In the Garden
Cecilia Thaxter in her garden on the island of Appledore, in the Isles of Shoals, Maine. She is standing amid a bed of hollyhocks, Shirley poppies, mignonette, and asters. Behind her is the ocean with a white sail in the distance. She wrote a book about her garden and Childe Hassam painted the illustrations, of which this is one. (Impressionist, 1892)

Kawase Hasui

Snow at Mukajima
A snowly evening on a Japanese lake. Snow-covered fishing boats are in the foreground, with several more tied up next to a cheerfully lit cottage on the shore. A fisherman is poling his boat in, while one more boat is still out. The blue of the twilight sky is reflected in the still lake. (1931)

Harbor at Night, Otaru
A man in a hat and overcoat and a woman in a kimono standing on a pier looking out on Ishikari Bay in Otaru. Several fishing boats are at anchor, and their lights are reflected in the calm water of the bay. The last light of the day highlights the low clouds, and the light of two lamps on the pier is reflected in the water. (1933)

Autumn at Oirase
Gorgeous yellow and orange foliage on and under birch trees by a stream. The water is blue under sunny skies and it ripples past small rocks in the stream. (1933)

Evening Glow in Spring, Toshogu Shrine, Ueno
A Japanese temple lit from below by the last light of the setting sun. It is surrounded by blossoming cherry trees, and a crescent moon appears in the still-blue sky.

The Kiss
A medieval lady in blue satin and a cloaked traveler kiss at the foot of a castle's stairs

The Last Kiss of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo, poised to climb over Juliet's balcony, turns to kiss her one last time. She, wearing her bedgown, clings to him, but he has one hand around her waist and the other grasping a rope tied outside the window. Juliet's nurse, holding a lighted lamp, is watching from the inner room. The sky outside is bright and the morning light is beginning to come through the stained-glass windows and illumine the walls and columns. (Romantic, 1823)

Heliodore's Woodstar and a Pink Orchid (detail)
A tropical hummingbird perched jauntily on a large pink Cattleya orchid. He seems to be admiring the flower. The background is not stitched, and the pattern is designed for white fabric. We also offer the complete painting with background. (American, about 1875-90)

Giant Magnolias on a Blue Velvet Cloth
Snow-white magnolia flowers, one fully open, one partially open, and a bud with their glossy green leaves rest on a dramatically-lit blue velvet drape. This makes a beautiful companion to A Magnolia on Red Velvet. (About 1890)

Still Life with Apple Blossoms in a Nautilus Shell
A spray of apple blossoms in a vase made from a nautilus shell mounted on a silver flower stem with cockle shells as a base. The vase stands on a table covered with a brocade cloth. Nearby is an ivory fan with a tassel, a shallow goblet with a pearl necklace spilling over the sides, and a small box partly covered by a gray velvet curtain with a gold fringe. In one corner is a lace curtain, and the background is red and black wallpaper in a diamond pattern. (American, 1870)

Hummingbird and Two Types of Orchids
A pink and green hummingbird in a tropical forest, perched on a twig near a large Cattleya orchid and a few smaller orchids. A branch festooned with moss frames the scene. In the background, palm trees can be seen dimly through the mist, and the sun is struggling to break through. (About 1890-1904)

Watering the Garden
A woman watering nasturtiums next to a stone wall in her garden. She is wearing a bonnet and has her gown pinned up in back. Along the stone path on which she is standing are beds of other flowers.

Noah's Ark
Noah has been commanded by God to build a great ark and take aboard two of every kind of animal and bird so that they will be saved from the flood which will be sent to wipe out the wickedness of mankind. As the storm clouds gather, a procession of animals boards the ark two by two. There are cattle, horses, donkeys, deer, goats, sheep, pigs, lions, dogs, goats, zebras, giraffes, camels, apes, gazelles, elephants, tigers, rabbits, squirrels, bears, and rhinoceroses. Birds fill the sky and are entering the ark through a window. (1846)

The Cornell Farm
An orderly and prosperous Pennsylvania farm with its neat stone farm house, large barn, freshly painted outbuildings, tidily fenced fields, and filled corn cribs. In the foreground are handsome cattle, horses, sheep, and swine, as farmers discuss which should win the prizes. Cornell commissioned this painting to commemorate his bull winning the prize at the Bucks County Agricultural Society livestock show. (Folk art, 1848)
