In an Irish House, 1988

Wappers was a Belgian academic painter best remembered for his work as a teacher and mentor. He taught both Ford Madox Brown and Lawrence Alma-Tadema, while Director of the Antwerp Academy. The subject of this painting is unknown, but there are several clues to what suggests is a romantic narrative. These include the partially viewed portrait of the male figure on the right, the image of the shipwreck hanging on the wall in the background, and the purple flowers the young woman holds in her hand.

Maurice Molarsky (1885 - 1950)[ was an American painter known for his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. His portraits are characterized by a traditional technique reminiscent of Velasquez. His landscapes and still lifes, however, are often painted in an airy, Impressionist style. He was equally comfortable working in either mode. Except for two years in Europe and six during which he kept a studio in New York City, Molarsky lived and worked in Philadelphia.

The woman in Repose is Sargent's niece, Rose–Marie Ormond. In keeping with his newfound preference for informal figure studies, Sargent did not create a traditional portrait; rather, he depicted Rose–Marie as a languid, anonymous figure absorbed in poetic reverie.
