Books And Art Maternity (1917)

Edmund Blair Leighton (English, 1853–1922)

A woman sits absorbed in a book, one hand resting on her rounded belly. Sunlight spills across the pages as her other hand absentmindedly traces an open sketchbook beside her. The quiet intimacy of reading merges with the unspoken anticipation of motherhood.
Verführerischer Blick

Leopold Schmutzler (German, unknown)

A woman’s gaze meets yours—bold, unflinching. The tilt of her head, the curve of her lips, everything about her whispers temptation. The light lingers on her skin, soft yet deliberate, as if daring you to look away. You won’t.
Portrait of a lady (1881)

Karl Gussow (German, 1843–1907)

A woman gazes past the viewer, her expression unreadable. The light catches the folds of her dark dress, the subtle flush on her cheek. There’s a quiet tension in her stillness—something held back, something about to break.
Alice Gamby dans le salon (1890)

Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895)

A woman sits in a sunlit room, her posture relaxed yet poised. The brushstrokes blur the edges of her dress and the furnishings, as if the air itself hums with quiet energy. Light spills across the floor, dissolving details into warmth—a fleeting, intimate moment held in soft focus.
Summer (1914)

Frederick Carl Frieseke (American, 1874–1939)

Sunlight dapples through the leaves, casting patterns on her white dress. She sits in the garden, lost in thought, a book forgotten in her lap. The air hums with warmth, the colors soft yet vibrant—greens melting into pinks, blues fading into yellows. A quiet, fleeting moment of summer.
Portrait of a Young Woman (1891)

Albert Edelfelt (Finnish, 1854–1905)

A young woman gazes past the frame, her expression unreadable. Soft light brushes her cheek, catching the delicate lace at her collar. There’s a quiet tension in her stillness—something held back, something waiting. The brushwork lingers on the warmth of her skin against the muted background.
Dreams (ca. 1861)

Frederic William Burton (Irish, unknown)

A woman’s face, half-lit in shadow, drifts between sleep and waking. Her lips part slightly, as if whispering to unseen figures in the dark. The folds of her nightgown catch the faintest glow—something lingers just beyond the edge of vision.
The House Maid (1910)

William McGregor Paxton (American, 1869–1941)

A young maid pauses mid-task, sunlight catching the folds of her apron. The quiet rhythm of domestic life holds her in a moment of stillness, the weight of her unseen labor lingering in the air. The room hums with unspoken stories.
Die drei Grazien (1899)

Édouard Bisson (French, 1856–1945)

Three women intertwine in effortless harmony, their flowing drapery echoing the curves of their bodies. Myth becomes flesh as they embody grace itself—not posed, but caught mid-movement like a breath held between laughter and song. The air around them shimmers with unspoken stories.
