The 19th century

The Horse Fair, by Rosa Bonheur, 1852–55
A work made of transfer lithograph in black, with stumping and scraping, on cream laid paper, laid down on a heavy backing sheet.
Hell Courtesan, by Kawanabe Kyōsai, 1871–89
This painting shows a serene pastoral scene with trees, a wooden gate, and foliage extending towards the horizon. Closest to us, there is a low riverbank with some tree branches in the water. Up a grassy dirt hill, two donkeys are visible off to the right, partially hidden by vegetation. On the left, a dirt path leads to the wooden gate. To the left of the gate, two people sit on the grass with a wicker basket between them. The tall trees that rise in the background have leaves in shades of green, yellow, and dark orange. The sky above the scene is yellow with some hints of light blue, and golden light shines down on the landscape.
The Champion Single Sculls (Max Schmitt in a Single Scull), by Thomas Eakins, 1871
A work made of oil on canvas.
