Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes Mexican. Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes, 1788. Oil on canvas, 40 1/2 x 32 1/2in. (102.9 x 82.6cm). Painted in two major colonial American centers, these portraits from Boston and Mexico City (then New Spain) share a formality of pose and an emphasis on fine costume that reveal a common source in European portraiture. John Haskins holds his hand on his hip, in a pose of authority found in Elizabethan portraits. Nevertheless, this upright barrel maker known as Honest John Haskins” was a modest patron when compared to his wealthy and ambitious Mexican counterpart. The inscription at the bottom of Don Ignacio Leonel Gómez Cervantes’s portrait lists honors and inherited titles that explicitly identify him as a descendant of an aristocratic Spanish American family.

Figures upon a Vase recently found at Cumae, Italy, 1856. Design on an ancient Greek vase showing '...the battle between the Greeks and the Amazons, and it is somewhat of a peculiarity that, with the exception of two, where the letters are effaced, every figure has its name above it, yet inscribed so delicately, that a glass is required to read them. A glance is sufficient to show the spirit, the ease, the elegance which mark the figures. There is nothing stiff or cramped - it is the flexibility of nature we look upon, and we feel almost that the combatants are inspired with life...Cumae had

Portrait of Jean de Carondelet Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen (Dutch, 1500-1559). Portrait of Jean de Carondelet, ca. 1530. Oil on panel, 30 3/4 x 24 1/2 in. (78.1 x 62.2 cm). Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen demonstrates his keen sense of observation by faithfully capturing his sitter, an influential Catholic cleric and statesman, at age sixty, paying equal attention to the topography of his face and the textures of the luxurious dark fur and fabric of his clothing. The artist animates Jean de Carondelets stern and blocky figure by enlivening the hands, one of which firmly grasps a pair of gray leather gloves, while the other contorts in an enigmatic gesture. European Art ca. 1530

Arab Gypsies in a Tent John Singer Sargent (American, born Italy, 1856-1925). Arab Gypsies in a Tent, 1905-1906. Opaque and translucent watercolor with graphite underdrawing, 12 x 18 in. (30.5 x 45.7 cm). Throughout his Bedouin subjects, Sargent relied primarily on the expressive power of the robed figures (women in blue tobs and men in white) animated by sharp, raking light. He consistently used the black tents as a broad compositional framework, both to exert control over the blazing desert light and to create the shallow pictorial spaces he preferred. Here Sargent also employed a more explicit and romanticized orientalist narrative that features a hooded Gypsy, whose tense hands, brilliantly sketched, hover over the round shape of a tray or bowl.
