    The Red School House (1873)

    Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910)

    A lone red schoolhouse stands against the muted greens of a rural landscape. The weathered wood and simple shape suggest quiet days of chalk dust and recitations, a humble outpost of learning in the open countryside. No children play outside—just stillness, and the faint echo of lessons past.

    Pieter Cramer (Dutch, 1721–1776)

    Delicate wings unfurl across the page—tropical butterflies from Asia, Africa, and America, frozen mid-flight. Each engraving traces intricate patterns, a silent flutter of scales and veins preserved on paper. The specimens seem poised to take off, their exotic forms bridging continents through ink and precision.
