Study of Barges
Artist
Jan van de Velde
Physical Description
This sheet of sketches of barges and boats suggests that they were drawn from life and meant to capture the rich variety of life along a river. Two of the sketches along the bottom of the sheet show large piles of hay or similar materials; two smaller boats in the upper portion of the paper have smaller cargo. Three of these four sketches show the boats with an oarsman in the rear and are seen passing by from the bank or from another boat. At the upper right corner is a sketch of two boats, possibly tied up to a dock as both are seen end-on from the bows.

Nude in a Landscape

Title
Christ Healing the Deaf-Mute
Artist
Philippe de Champaigne
Physical Description
This painting depicts a river passing through a wooded landscape as human figures, dwarfed by the towering trees, move along its banks. The majestic landscape dominates the painting, but a group of four men in the right foreground also competes for attention since the bright, saturated primary colors of their robes stand out sharply against the muted tonalities of their surroundings. One of the men, wearing a blue cloak, places his left finger in the mouth of a man kneeling before him and touches the side of his head with his right hand. A third man leans forward to touch the kneeling figure's shoulder while the fourth, in a magnificent red cloak, raises his hands in astonishment.

Title
Bridge over a Waterfall
Artist
Eugène Cicéri
Physical Description
A watercolor image of a bridge over a small mountain waterfall. The focal point of the image is the bridge, a bit off-center, that connects two small mountains that split at the point of a river. The waterfall flows down a short ways into a low, wide river. At its bank there is a dark figure, possibly a man standing by the water. Over the bridge in the background are tall and far away mountains covered in trees, they are painted in a way to seem like they are blanketed in fog.
