A Vestal by Clodion

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/41714-vestal

Known for playfully sensuous terracotta nymphs and satyrs, Clodion also portrayed more serious subjects from Classical myth and history. An ancient draped figure at the Uffizi in Florence, then known as a vestal, inspired him during a stay in Italy to make several statuettes of a priestess of the Roman hearth goddess Vesta, pouring out oil to feed the sacred fire.

One Year the Milkweed by Arshile Gorky

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/56936-one-year-milkweed

In One Year the Milkweed , one of several so-called color veil paintings Gorky made in 1944, films of paint have been washed unevenly across the canvas, and evocative but indistinct forms have been brushed in. Overall green and brown hues suggest a landscape, but there are no identifiable landscape forms and no spatial recession.

Lumber Schooners at Evening on Penobscot Bay by Fitz Henry Lane

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/57611-lumber-schooners-evening-penobscot-bay

Despite its meticulous draftsmanship and precise detail, Lane’s work is far more than a simple inventory of harbor activity. The diminutive figures and carefully rendered vessels remain secondary to the vast expanse of sky, where shimmering light creates a tranquil, idyllic mood.
