Julius LeBlanc Stewart was an artistic rarity. Like another American expatriate master, John Singer Sargent, Stewart barely knew his native country. In Paris, his depictions of the most renowned celebrities are epitomized by 'The Hunt Supper.' The exact identities of most of the participants in this work are not known, Stewart could not resist including himself among the glitterati in such an elegant interior, although he places himself in the rear center of the group.

Artist Peder Severin Krøyer found a muse in his wife, Marie Triepeke, however as his portraits of her enraptured his audience more and more, the basis of their marriage gradually crumbled. The couple is shown on an evening beach walk where the sea and the sky dissolve into a continuous medium. Although the scene appears idyllic, beneath the surface there is a hint of melancholy. Krøyer is holding Marie by the arm, but there is something fragile about his figure, and she is in her own world. Skagen, Beach Walk, Melancholy, Landscape Paintings, Oil On Canvas, Muse, Marriage

The picture began life as a smaller canvas and as a working study of H.R.H. The Princess Royal, the only daughter of George V, and aunt to Queen Elizabeth II. His widow Violet, Lady Munnings claimed that she had been the model for the huntswoman, and lamented that she could not afford to buy the picture back for the collection at Castle House. The painting is a complex blend of sitters and subjects: a portrait; a hunting scene; a conversation piece; and a satire. Alfred Munnings, Castle House, Small Canvas, Satire
