Charles M. Russell

The Scout

Three cowboys on horseback gallop after a steer that is trying to escape from the herd. All are swinging their lassos and one is about to land his around the steer's horns. The scene is scrubby desert with a twilight sky, and the main herd and other cowboys are far behind the three. (1897)

Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose

The candles' warm glow lights their faces. They are standing up to their knees in carnations with pink roses all around, and white oriental lilies towering over them. (1885-6)

Spanish Fountain
A watercolor of a stone fountain standing in a wide basin of water. Water pours from a woman's head on the upper part of the fountain, and cherubs lounge around the base.

The Grand Canal, Venice

He Raised a Gull-Like Cry in the Air
An illustration for "Moby Dick" showing Captain Ahab and a sailor standing on the sailing top spying for whales while seagulls swirl around them with a pale sun struggling through the blue sea mist.

...While but two thirds of the way aloft, and while peering ahead through the horizontal vacancy between the main-top-sail and top-gallant-sail, he raised a gull-like cry in the air, "There she blows!--there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!" -- Herman Melville

(Golden Age of Illustration, 1922)

Guillaume Seignac

Virginite
A virginal bride on her wedding day. She is seated on a gilded chair, dressed in a chemise, and she has a band with orange blossoms on it in her reddish hair. She is holding her satin bridal gown and lace veil on her lap, and a sprig of orange blossoms, and gazing pensively over her shoulder. The background is a delicately patterned lavender wallpaper. (Academic, 1900)

Georges Seurat

Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Parisians enjoying a sunny Sunday in a park on an island in the Seine. Ladies with parasols are strolling with top-hatted gentlemen, families are sitting on blankets on the grass, children and dogs are running about. The river is filled with small sailboats and sculls. The pointillist style involves mixing tiny dots of different colors which are blended by the eye; Seurat believed that this would make the colors more brilliant and vibrant than standard brush strokes. (Post-Impressionist, c. 1885)

Entrance of the Port at Honfleur
A view of a port entrance. Many small sailing boats and one steam ship are entering the port, while a larger sailing boat is already moored. In the foreground is a dock with a mooring post. The green water reflects a lighthouse and port buildings, and a hazy blue sky is overhead. The pointillist style involves mixing tiny dots of different colors which are blended by the eye; Seurat believed that this would make the colors more brilliant and vibrant than standard brush strokes. This is the full painting; we also offer a view showing more detail in the dots SEU002-D. (Post-Impressionist, 1886)

Entrance of the Port at Honfleur (detail)
Several small sailing boats and a buoy on a green sea with a hazy blue sky overhead. The pointillist style involves mixing tiny dots of different colors which are blended by the eye; Seurat believed that this would make the colors more brilliant and vibrant than standard brush strokes. This is a small portion of the full painting to show more detail in the dots. We also offer the full painting SEU002. (Post-Impressionist, 1886)

Ohara Shoson

Heron in the Snow
An egret perching on a branch in a snow-covered tree on a snowy night. The egret's feathers are delicately suggested. The background is not stitched, and this pattern is designed for black fabric. (Mid 1930s)

Birds and Snowy Berry Branches
Two sparrows on snow next to bushes with dark green leaves and red berries

Paul Signac

The Red Buoy
A red buoy floating in the harbor at St. Tropez, at that time still a small fishing port. Sunlight glints off the gently rippling water which reflects the sailboats anchored there and the orange buildings facing the waterfront. A crystal-clear blue sky is overhead. (Pointillist, 1895)

John Sloan

The City from Greenwich Village
A view from the roof of the artist's Washington Place studio, looking south over lower Sixth Avenue on a winter evening. The distant lights of the great office buildings downtown are seen in the gathering darkness. An elevated train snakes between the buildings and street lights illuminate cars and pedestrians. The triangular building is the Flatiron Building. The tallest building in the distance is the Woolworth building. (Ash Can School, 1922)
