The Greek Slave by Hiram Powers

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/166484-greek-slave

Sensational and scandalous for an American audience unused to seeing classically nude statues of women, this figure by Hiram Powers caused a frenzy when it was first exhibited in the mid-19th century. Curious viewers came in droves to see it after Powers sent several copies from Italy, where he created the work.

The Bedroom by Pieter de Hooch

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1172-bedroom

Pieter de Hooch excelled in the sensitive depiction of people going about their daily lives, be it inside their houses or in the sheltered environment of an urban courtyard. His masterly control of light, color, and complex perspectival construction can be compared to the work of Johannes Vermeer, his contemporary and colleague in Delft.
