The Four Days’ Battle was a naval battle held in June 1666 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War which was driven by commercial rivalry and competition over maritime power. This painting shows English vessels being taken as war prizes into the Haringvliet - the estuary of the Maas - between the island of Goeree and Hellevoetsluis on the north side. On the left, the Dutch ship ‘Wassenaer’ firing a salute has a red ensign horizontal at her stern, probably that of the English 'Convertine' which it had captured ; it is probably the ship half-seen astern behind. Other Dutch ships on the right also have horizontal red ensigns, indicating captures of other English vessels. At the centre right, between two Dutch ships, the English vessel ‘Swiftsure’ is depicted without its main topmast. In the far right, the ‘Hollandia’ floats with a Dutch flag on the stump of its main mast which it lost during a collision on the first day of the battle.

John Quinton Pringle (1864 - 1925) was a Scottish painter who was influenced by French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage after visiting an exhibition of his artworks in Glasgow in the 1880s. Pringle had his painting technique influenced by Bastien-Lepage’s naturalist style and also used local subjects for his artworks. In the centre of “Repairing the Bicycle” (1889), a young man wearing a cap is kneeling down to repair a bicycle in front of a shed. On the ground, there are some pigeons pecking beside the man and some tools lying in the foreground. With a brick wall with metal staples as background, the painting features only a green note thanks to the sapling against the reddish and greyish tones.

In the Hague, Vincent van Gogh learned painting from his cousin by marriage Anton Mauve who made him paint still lifes. Later, van Gogh would become himself an art teacher and attend to four students - the goldsmith Antoon Hermans, the tanner Anton Kerssemakers, the telegraph operator Willem van de Wakker and Dimmen Gestel. Making his students painting still lifes just like Mauve did with him, van Gogh also resumed painting still life too and painted eagerly with his students. Antoon Hermans had a collection of jars, pots, bowls, vases and bottles which would be used by the group of artists. Some of the objects in “Still life with a Bearded-Man Jar” may come from Hermans’s collection.

Arthur Hawksley (1842–1915) was a British painter whose work consisted mostly of landscape and rural life painting. In “Driving up to Milk”, a young boy dressed with a beige jacket, light brown pants and a blue cap is walking down a muddy pathway. With a stick in his hand, he seems to be inciting four cows in front to move forward. The lane is bordered on its left by a high grassy bank and a large tree. On the right there is a stone wall beyond which appear barns and stacks of hay. Fields can be observed at a distance at the end of the lane.

This painting commemorates a ceremony of paramount historical and symbolic importance held at the Champ-de-Mars in Paris. After his coup d'état of 2nd December, 1851, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (Napoléon III), the Prince-President, pursued a propaganda campaign throughout 1852 aimed both at establishing himself as his uncle's heir and securing popular support and the loyalty of the army. The ceremony of the distribution of the Eagles, which reenacted the one held on December 5, 1804, three days after the coronation of Napoleon I, was part of this strategy. The celebration is depicted in the foreground in front of the buildings of the Military School with the Parisian skyline where one can identify the dome of the Invalides.
