Black and white image of African American jazz singer Sarah Vaughan from the waist up. She is wearing a light dress with flowers on it. Her eyes are closed and she gestures with her hands as she sings.
Young Spanish Officer, Frederic Remington, ink on paper
In this circular, black and white print, two central figures wearing hats and slickers harvest buckets of lobsters. Over the shoulders of the figures are two small boats on the water carrying a lobster pot and rowed by single figures. Another man works to the right of the central figure on the right. At the left of the composition stands a pier with a small building covered in lobster pots. At the bottom of the print, a small still life includes a lobster, a lobster pot, and a buoy.
This etching is created with black ink on paper. The scene looks out over rooftops from a high vantage point toward a cityscape (downtown Birmingham, Alabama). Smoke rises intermittently in the distance, and the sky has some color and a few lines but is fairly clear.
