Two women sit next to a table holding a tray with tea cups and saucers in this faintly colored, vertical drypoint and aquatint. Faint black lines outline the women, their features, clothing, and objects in the room, and each area is filled in with a flat, very pale color. The women face each other and take up most of the composition. The women’s skin is the color of the cream-white paper, and both have oval faces, rounded noses, and their hair is pulled up and back. The woman to our right has brown hair and leans forward as she holds up a barely gray plate with her right hand, closer to us. The other hand rests on the arm of her tan-brown chair. Her dress has a bodice and long skirt the color of the paper with smoke-gray, long sleeves and fabric covering her chest and tucked into the low, rounded neckline. The other woman wears a cap over black hair. Also the color of the paper, the hat has the hint of celery-green feather and is tied in a bow under the chin. She wears a hip-length, nickel gray cloak over a pale, sage-green dress. She looks down at the plate and holds what might be a cookie or biscuit with one hand and a cup and a dish-like saucer with the other. Her lips are downturned and her head pulled slightly back to create a double chin. She sits upright in another brown chair. In the lower right corner of the sheet, the round gray table is barely bigger than the round gray tray it holds. On it are two more cups and saucers and a jug, presumably holding milk. What might be another cup-and-saucer set or the teapot is cut off by the right edge of the paper. An ice-white screen with openings across the top stands to the left behind the second woman, and a window is behind the first. Lemon-lime green, spiky fronds of a houseplant angle up across curtains tinged pink. A blush-pink curtain is pulled to the left side, and squiggles and flowers printed in rose pink suggest patterns on all the curtains. The artist's initials are written in graphite under the lower left corner of the printed image, “MC.”

Two women with pale, peachy skin sit next to a table holding a silver tray and royal-blue tea cups and saucers in this colored, vertical etching and aquatint. Faint black lines outline the women, their features, clothing, and objects in the room, and each area is filled in a flat color. The women face each other and take up most of the composition. Both have oval faces, rounded noses, pale pink lips, and their hair is pulled up and back. The woman to our right has brown hair and leans forward as she holds up a blue plate with her right hand, closer to us. The other hand rests on the arm of her tawny-brown chair. Her dress has a petal pink bodice and long skirt with fog-white long sleeves and white fabric covering her chest and tucked into the low, rounded neckline. The other woman wears a blue cap over black hair. The hat has a celery-green feather and is tied in a bow under the chin. She wears a hip-length, charcoal-gray cloak over a pale, sage-green dress. She looks down at the plate and holds what might be a cookie or biscuit with one hand and a cup and a dish-like saucer with the other. Her lips are downturned and her head pulled slightly back to create a double chin. She sits upright in another brown chair. In the lower right corner of the sheet, the round gray table is barely bigger than the round gray tray it holds. On it are two more cups and saucers and a silver jug, presumably holding milk. What might be another cup and saucer set or the teapot is cut off by the right edge of the paper. The rims of the cups and saucers are painted gold. A very pale, mint-green screen with openings across the top stands to the left behind the second woman, and a window is behind the first. Spiky fronds of a houseplant angle up toward the sunlight and a coral-pink curtain is pulled to the left side. Squiggles and flowers printed in rust red suggest a pattern on white curtains covering the window and the pink curtain to the left. The wall behind the screen is straw yellow. The artist signed and inscribed the sheet under the lower right corner, “Imprimée par l'artiste et M. Leroy, Mary Cassatt (25 épreuves).” A tiny dark blue stamp with a short, wide C overlaid on a capital letter M is inked along the bottom edge of the image.

Two women with pale, peachy skin sit next to a table holding a tray and royal-blue tea cups and saucers in this colored, vertical etching and aquatint. Faint black lines outline the women, their features, clothing, and objects in the room, and each area is filled in with a flat color. The women face each other and take up most of the composition. Both have oval faces, rounded noses, pale, dusky pink lips, and their hair is pulled up and back. The woman to our right has brown hair and leans forward as she holds up a blue plate with her right hand, closer to us. The other hand rests on the arm of her tawny-brown chair. Her dress has a petal pink bodice and long skirt with fawn-brown long sleeves and fabric covering her chest and tucked into the low, rounded neckline. The other woman wears a blue cap over her black hair. The hat has a celery-green feather and is tied in a bow under the chin. She wears a hip-length, coffee bean-brown cloak over a pale, sage-green dress. She looks down at the plate and holds what might be a cookie or biscuit with one hand and a cup and a dish-like saucer with the other. Her lips are downturned and her head pulled slightly back to create a double chin. She sits upright in another brown chair. In the lower right corner of the sheet, the round dove-gray table is barely bigger than the round tawny-brown tray it holds. On it are two more cups and saucers and a silver jug, presumably holding milk. What might be another cup and saucer set or the teapot is cut off by the right edge of the paper. The rims of the cups and saucers are painted gold. A pale, barely mint-green screen with openings across the top stands to the left behind the second woman, and a window is behind the first. Spiky fronds of a houseplant angle up in front of sand-brown curtains covering the opening. A coral-pink curtain is pulled to the left side, and squiggles and flowers printed in darker tones of brown and pink respectively suggest patterns. The wall behind the screen is straw yellow. The artist signed and inscribed the sheet under the lower right corner, “Imprimée par l'artiste et M. Leroy, Mary Cassatt (25 épreuves) serie unique.” A tiny dark blue stamp with a short, wide C overlaid on a capital letter M is inked along the bottom edge of the image.

The painting shows abstract forms suggesting intertwining figures amidst a natural backdrop. Three figures are depicted on a textured green and earthy background resembling a forest. The figures appear to be engaged in a gentle, fluid interaction, with soft muted tones contrasting the darker background. The style is reminiscent of Arthur B. Davies, featuring dreamlike and serene treatment of the figures.

The image displays a head-and-shoulders portrait of a person seated and facing slightly to the left. The individual has a fair complexion with soft facial features, including gentle eyes, a prominent nose, and light-colored lips.

There is no visible jewelry or other items being held. The background is a dark, plain canvas.

The sculpture portrays a relief of a lamb with folded legs and a curled horn. Behind the lamb is a flag with a cross on a pole, all encircled by a round frame. The sculpture is made of a metallic material with a silver/pewter color, showing a weathered texture with tarnishing and signs of wear.

Shown from the knees up, a woman stands facing us as she turns her head to look off to our right in this vertical portrait painting. The woman has pale, peachy skin, deeply shadowed, hooded eyes, and a straight nose. Shadows fill the hollow of her high cheekbones, and she has a thin face. Her black hair is plaited and tied up and back under brown bands. Earrings hang from each ear, and she wears two strands of white and gray pearls and three red necklaces. Her shoulders slope down, and her arms hang by her sides. The garnet-red bodice of her dress is cut low over a white undergarment. Red straps loop up over her mostly bare shoulders. Sapphire-blue sleeves leave the shoulders exposed and have black bands at the cuffs, which fall short of her wrists. An apron tied around her waist is loosely painted with deep red flowers and dark green leaves against a parchment-brown background. Her long skirt is midnight blue in the shadows. She holds a shimmering object in her right hand, to our left, and rests her other hand on the brown stone wall that runs behind her thighs. A tree edges into the scene along the right, and a few white stucco houses with flat, red roofs cluster on a rocky hill in the distance behind the woman, to our left. The cliffs span most of the background and end in a sheer face near the right edge of the canvas. The sky is tinged with peach at the horizon glimpsed at the foot of the cliff but is mostly steely gray. The artist signed the lower left corner, “COROT.”

Shown from the thighs up, a pale-skinned man wearing armor and holding an arrow stands in front of a wine-red curtain drawn aside to show a cloud-streaked sky in this square painting. The man’s body is angled to our right, and he looks at us from the corners of his brown eyes. He has gray brows, flushed, high cheekbones, a straight nose, and his lips are closed under an ash-brown moustache over a long, gray beard. His gray hair is close cropped. His pewter-silver armor is lined and banded with gold, and decorated with lions’ heads at the shoulder we can see and across the tasset, spanning his hips. He holds the arrow in his left hand, to our right, so one end points toward his chest. The other hand rests by his side on a baton or hilt of a weapon. The curtain shows the edge of a column and stone banister, close behind the man’s far shoulder. Ivory-white clouds touched with pale pink are against a teal-blue sky in the right third of the painting.
