Study of a Young Woman in Three-quarter Bust-Length ca. 1540-42 Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano) Italian The surviving corpus of securely attributed drawings by Bronzino numbers around sixty-two, or so sheets. This is by all accounts an extraordinarily small number for a Tuscan artist of his generation. The Museum was fortunate to acquire this drawing which was unknown until its discovery at auction in 2013. It is a sketch after a living model, and belongs with a small group of Bronzino's sheets of ca. 1540-45 for the frescoes and altarpiece in the Chapel of Eleonora di Toledo (Palazzo Vecchio, Florence), because of its style, technique, design, and pictorial approach to life drawing. As is seen here, the most plentiful kind of drawing by Bronzino to have survived, his life-studies of the figure (or "ritratti dal naturale") are quietly about the humble, flesh-and-blood models who were his subjects, and who posed in the studio for the invention of his pictures. The Mets study is

Annie 1858 James McNeill Whistler American Early in 1858 Whistler went to London from Paris to recuperate from a bad fall and stayed with his sister Deborah and her husband Seymour Haden. A gifted etcher, the latter encouraged the artists first serious efforts in the medium. This example centers on Whistler's niece and emphasizes an abstract pattern of darks and lights over portraiture, omitting the figure's legs. In November 1858, Whistler included the print in his first published set, "Douze eau-fortes d'apres Nature" ("Twelve Etchings from Nature"), known as the "French Set.". Annie 372476
