i am a grad student in art history at Pratt Institute, and i wonder if anyone can help me identify some images. my thesis deals with (among other things) real art referenced in the art of the comic series _Hellboy_. there are a few images i can't pin down, and i'd really like to get as close as possible to identifying the actual work being referenced. below are links to scans of the images in question, and a description of the item i'd like to identify. ------------- 1. the painting of the woman in yellow, in the upper-middle and upper-right panels (i feel sure it's a Sargent!): http://pratt.edu/~janderso/scans/rhod_varcolac_002.jpg 2. the portrait of the man standing http://pratt.edu/~janderso/scans/sod_is2_003.jpg 3. both the bust portrait and the whaling scene: http://pratt.edu/~janderso/scans/sod_is2_004.jpg ------------------ thank you so much for any help you can offer! feel free to reply directly to me. -- --------------------- jennifer l. anderson [log in to unmask] home.earthlink.net/~jposh007/ --------------------- __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
