The Boating Party by Mary Cassatt https://www.nga.gov/artworks/46569-boating-party
This bold composition reveals the influence of the flat, patterned surfaces, simplified color, and unusual angles of Japanese prints, which enjoyed a huge vogue in Paris in the late 1800s. The dark figure of the man compresses the picture onto the flat plane of the canvas, and the horizon is pushed to the top, collapsing a sense of distance.

Madame Moitessier by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres https://www.nga.gov/artworks/32696-madame-moitessier
When his friend Marcotte first suggested that Ingres paint Ines Moitessier, the wife of a financier and jurist, he demurred.
