Pierre-Auguste RenoirTwo Sisters (On the Terrace) Painting of mother in blue, purple, and green-stripped dress washing child's feet. Mary CassattThe Child's Bath Loosely painted image of an open-air train station. On the right, a parked train gives off an enormous plumb of white smoke, making the scene look as though it were full of clouds. A huddled mass of barely discernible people crowd around the train on both sides of the tracks. Blue, green, and gray tones dominate. Claude MonetArrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare Painted portrait dominated by loose, large brushstrokes of a woman, seen from the back, wearing a gauzy white off-the-shoulder dress and black choker, blond hair swept up, examining herself in a mirror at left. The background is a feathered swirl suggesting floral pattern in cool pale tones of gray, purple, pink, and blue. Berthe MorisotWoman at Her Toilette Painting of a beach on a cloudy day with several sailboats on the water, a few rowboats on the shore, and two groupings of people on the sand. Claude MonetThe Beach at Sainte-Adresse Painting of two fishermen in small wooden boat on rocky seas. Winslow HomerThe Herring Net A sparsely painted waterside scene in dark tones with minimal ghostly shapes suggesting ships, yellow glitches of paint for light reflections, and the orb of an orange moon overhead. James McNeill WhistlerNocturne: Blue and Gold—Southampton Water Two girls in acrobatic uniforms stand in an arena, one holds oranges. Pierre-Auguste RenoirAcrobats at the Cirque Fernando (Francisca and Angelina Wartenberg)
