Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast by Ludolf Backhuysen

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/65898-ships-distress-rocky-coast

The three cargo ships in this large painting are the type of wide-bellied, seagoing vessels used to transport much of the commodities that generated the wealth of the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Flying the red, white, and blue flag of the Dutch Republic, these floating symbols of national prosperity are nevertheless in peril of crashing on the rocky shore.

George W. Vanderbilt by James McNeill Whistler

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/45880-george-w-vanderbilt

A close friend of Whistler, George Washington Vanderbilt II commissioned this full-length portrait in 1897 to hang in Biltmore House, his enormous château on 125,000 acres of wilderness near Asheville, North Carolina. The artist quickly responded, „I could not ask for a more sympathetic subject than yourself and therefore am greatly pleased at the prospect of painting your portrait!“
