Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French,1841-1919) "Reclining Nude," 1892
Edouard Manet (French, 1832-1883) "Rag picker," 1865-70
Manet depicted contemporary social types of Paris world he viewed throughout his career.
"Nude" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1872.  Renoir painted hundreds of nudes.
"The Cicada" (1865-1875) by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875).
Note the small figure of a Cicada on the women's left shoulder.
George Lacombe (French, 1868-1926) "Autumn:  The Chestnut Gatherers, 1894
The figures are collecting Chestnuts with a religious air.
