Portrait of a Woman Aged Sixty by Frans Hals

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/74-portrait-woman-aged-sixty

The strength and vitality of the people who helped establish the new Dutch Republic are nowhere better captured than in the work of Frans Hals, who was the preeminent portrait painter in Haarlem, the most important artistic center of Holland in the early part of the seventeenth century. This unidentified sitter—one of Hals’ most impressive portraits—was sixty years old when the painting was made, according to the artist’s inscription.

Into Bondage by Aaron Douglas

https://www.nga.gov/artworks/166444-bondage

We glimpse the harrowing drama unfolding in this painting, as if we are crouching by the roots of the tropical foliage and peering through a space between the leaves. Our focus is on the anonymous silhouettes of men and women, their shackles more prominent than their features.
The Washington Post (8 May 1996): A:16. Shaw-Eagle, Joanna.
