Its acquisition further strengthens and expands the American Wing's holdings of work by nineteenth-century African American artists. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Dream, Henri Rousseau, 1910,

The Dragon Arum, Black Calla or Solomon's Lily, 1799-1807. Robert John Thornton (British, 1768-1837), William Ward (British, 1776-1826). Mezzotint; In the 18th century, new engraving and etching techniques offered a variety of tonal effects that enhanced botanical prints. While mezzotint (in which the plate is roughened and then the engraver works from dark to light creating different values) and stipple (dots create values) make it possible to create the rich tonal scale and velvety texture of oil paint, aquatint imitates the delicacy and transparency of watercolor and ink wash.
