This picture is especially worthy of attention for the vitality and character of the face, the grace of the figure, the easy naturalness of the pose, and the unaffected simplicity of the subject. Original in the possession of J. Pierpont Morgan

Quiet shadows and cool reflections in light-values contribute to the repose felt by the artist and expressed in this etching where an old street presents buildings with decorative design.

After his resurrection Jesus appeared to two disciples.  Rembrandt depicted the moment at the meal when they realized that the man they had not recognized was Jesus.  No other artist has presented such a Christ as this Being, who has passed through death and lives again.  Rembrandt's power to extend his strenuous spiritual quest into the medium of paint and produce so inspiring a painting as this attests his genius

This color etching is lovely not only for the color of the sea and the sky but also for the lines of boats in the harbor.  

Class of June, 1915

The imposing mass of the Houses of Parliament is the center of interest in this colored etching.  Vigorous and serious, the mighty shadow rises to impress the observer with its majesty.  The relief felt in the clearly defined patterns of the repeated forms in the foreground, with the expanse of the Thames, adds to the value expressed through the breadth of the buildings.

 The "feeling" for trees in this colored etching reminds one of Corot's influence.

This simple scene abounds in life and color.  The neutral background in warm, as if the sun could be felt through a heavy atmosphere.  There is rhythm in the orange-red roofs; color contrast in the green-blue umbrellas; motion and spirit in the multitude of marketers.  The mood of the picture is joyous.  Its art lifts us above the common-place. 

Class of June, 1916

Like a folk drama, this Old World scene moves the observer with emotions varying from the light-heartedness of the children gazing at rose-colored balloons to the serious thoughtfulness aroused by the dark, towering church, about which the people have gathered on market day.  The artist's creative power gives color and feeling to this typical etching

Line and color make this etching attractive.  There is strong contrast in the low values of trees and shore line against the high values of moonlit sky and water.  There also is a pleasing transition of color treatment from dark, dull blue-greens to soft, light yellow-greens 

The windmill in this Holland landscape is the center of interest by position and by the converging lines of the canal directing attention to it.  Blue and green clouds in the sky are reflected in the water.  Through the use of this balance a bland atmosphere of quiet restfulness is obtained. 

Class of June 1916

With almost photographic exactness the artist painted these old, marble, hand-carved palaces of Venice to produce the illusion of solidity and beauty.

Class of June,1913 

This color etching expresses and emotion aroused by the beauty of a sunset along the French waterfront. The fishing vessels gliding in from the sea into the shadows of the night denote the end of the days work; silhouetted against the sky, they add pictorial interest to the scene.  The charm of the picture is enhanced by the mellow glow of color, which, with the shadows and reflections, awakens a feeling of reverie in the observer. 

 In characteristic style this etching conveys the artist's response to the aspect of peasant life as he saw it in the Low Countries.  The peasants' rigorous toil is expressed by the downward, drooping lines of the figures against the opposing lines of nature.
