Arches

Arches, a song by Agnes Obel on Spotify

Bóvedas oscurecidas por la tormenta / Redimiendo una vieja deuda con el sol / Para tomar un sorbo de tu pozo / Como el agua correrás.

Bóvedas oscurecidas por la tormenta, / Sobrevolando tu habitación / Para tomar un sorbo de tu pozo / Y beber hasta que te hayas marchado

Para abrazarte, conocerte y dejarte ir.

Mary Cassatt (American, 1844 - 1926): Automne, portrait de Lydia Cassatt (via Paris Musées)

From the museum website (translation mine):

Born in America, Mary Cassatt came to France to study in 1866, and settled there for good in 1873. Her sister Lydia Cassatt came to join her in 1877. They stayed together in Marly-le-Roi in the summer of 1880 and until mid-October.

The painting was presented at the sixth impressionist exhibition, in 1881, with the title “L’Automne”. Lydia’s health was fragile and she died prematurely the following year. When Mary Cassatt gave the painting to the Petit Palais, she gave it the time “Portrait de femme”.

Portrait of the daughter of Dr. Karl A. von Maercker (1848). Adolph Friedrich Erdmann von Menzel (German, 1815-1905). Graphite, watercolor and bodycolor.

From the spring of 1845 until March 1847, Menzel lived at 18 Schöneberger Strasse in Berlin and became close friends with his neighbors, the Maercker family. The watercolors of the Maercker children are particularly charming, and of a highly intimate quality. In this drawing the Maercker daughter is shown while holding a book and looking up in a dreamy gaze.
