The End of a Game of Cards (1865)

Ernest Meissonier: The End of a Game of Cards

Two gentlemen in Louis XIII attire have fought a fatal duel over a game of tarot. One lies dead with his head resting on an overturned chair and the other, clasping his chest, expires in the background. Strewn across the floor are the cards with the two swords and three coins visible in the right foreground. The setting is actually Meissonier's richly furnished studio at Poissy. This picture illustrates Meissonier's mastery of foreshortening and his ability to express dramatic action in a miniature scale. [The Walters Art Museum]

Madame Proudhon (1865)

Gustave Courbet: Madame Proudhon

The Portrait of Madame Proudhon evokes the thinker’s companion and merits an in-depth study. Her pose, with head bent and slightly turned, as well as her furtive look do not correspond to the stereotyped model found in many other portraits. The crimped hairdo, with amazingly delicate blues by this master from Ornans, is more than just the adornment of a philosopher’s wife or a bourgeoise, and appears as an accessory whose meaning is both obvious and dissembling at the same time. [The Art Tribune]

The lady's husband and children were also painted by Courbet.
