Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

On the Thames (1874)

James Tissot (French, 1836–1902)

A woman in a crisp white dress stands by the riverbank, her parasol tilted against the afternoon sun. Behind her, boats bob on the Thames, their sails slack in the hazy light. The city hums faintly across the water—close enough to sense, too distant to disturb her quiet pause.

Le Repos

Victor Gabriel Gilbert (French, 1847–1935)

A woman pauses mid-task, her body sinking into the chair’s embrace. Sunlight slants across the quiet room, catching the folds of her skirt. The air hums with stillness—a rare break in the rhythm of domestic labor. Her hands rest, but her gaze lingers on unfinished work.
Misericordia

Orpheus And Eurydice (1864)

Frederic Leighton (English, 1830–1896)

Orpheus turns—just once—to see Eurydice’s face. His fingers brush hers as she fades back into shadows, her form dissolving like mist. The moment hangs between them: love’s last breath before the underworld reclaims her. A single glance undoes everything.

Back View Of A Young Woman In Profile With A Bouquet Of Roses In Her Hands

A young woman turns away, her profile softened by the glow of roses cradled in her hands. The flowers spill over, petals brushing her sleeves, their deep reds whispering against the quiet backdrop. She doesn’t face us—only the curve of her neck, the tilt of her head, as if listening to something just out of sight.
Johannes Wolff (1861–1931), Dutch violinist (1897)
