The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

To Theo van Gogh. Helvoirt, Friday, 10 July 1874.
My dear Theo,
Thanks for the information you got. We’re now staying a day longer and will arrive in London on Wednesday morning.
I gave you the photo in the Forbes catalogue here already, because I thought it would interest you, being the Scheldt and therefore Belgium. It’s of a painting by Cap. It’s not so very beautiful, but at least it’s original. I’ll write to you soon from London. I wish you well.
Vincent.

The Bather is one of Cézanne's most evocative paintings of the figure, although
the unmuscled torso and arms have no heroic pretensions, and the drawing, in
traditional, nineteenth-century terms, is awkward and imprecise. The bather's
left, forward leg is placed firmly on the ground, but his right leg trails and carries
no weight. - art-Сezanne.com

Georges Seurat - Circus Sideshow 1888 This is Seurat’s first nocturnal
painting and his first depiction of popular entertainment. It represents the
parade, or sideshow, of the Circus Corvi, which had set up near the place
de la Nation in Paris in the spring of 1887. Sideshows were held on the
street, for free, to entice passersby to purchase tickets. - ArtsViewer.com
