A dreamy feeling pervades Lilian Westcott Hale's impressionist masterpiece, "The Convalescent," at Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. Loose brushwork, warm coloring, and graceful composition direct our attention to the painting's only detail - the alluring face of Rose Zeffler, a friend of the artist, who appears to be relaxing in bed.

Degas was enamored with the world of ballet, recording all aspects of backstage activities. In selecting novice Marie van Goethem as his model, Degas violated accepted artistic practices of portraying prima ballerinas in performance settings.
