This black-and-white photograph shows the Lincoln Memorial from a distance, showing the rows of stairs that lead up to its tall columns. A person stands on the central steps, directly below the large statue of Abraham Lincoln that can be seen between the columns. The person appears to be silhouetted, and we see them only as a black shape in a long dress or skirt, with no other detail visible. On the left, some more people are visible by a dark bush.

The image depicts the upper body of a woman with long, wavy hair seen from behind, facing a large window. Her reflection is visible in the window, showing her face framed by straight hair. She wears a pink long-sleeve top under a gray sleeveless garment. The room appears dimly lit with visible objects on a surface to the right and a radiator beneath the window. The partially drawn curtain indicates a domestic setting.

The painting depicts three children within an oval frame, their upper bodies visible. The central child, a young girl, is positioned with her body facing forward and her head turned slightly to the left. She has a fair complexion, with rosy cheeks, pink lips, and wide brown eyes. Her hair is gray and partially pulled back by a blue ribbon. She is dressed in a white garment with a yellow shawl draped over her shoulders. Her arms are outstretched, holding the ends of a cloth that has been pinned on her dress. Her arms and the cloth extend forward beyond the oval frame that encircles the trio, as if the frame is a window or porthole that she is reaching out of. On the right, a boy leans on the girl's shoulder, also facing to the left, seen in profile. He has light brown, curly hair and a fair complexion. He wears a dark blue-green jacket over a white collar, and he is looking upward towards the third child. On the left, another boy, who also has light skin and light brown curly hair, appears to stand on a chair above the other two children. He is holding a long yellow straw up to his lips. At the other end of the straw, a large bubble hangs over the white cloth that the girl holds out. In his other hand is a small white dish. He wears a muted brown outfit with a dark cloth wrapped around him. The background within the frame is plain gray, and the frame that surrounds the children is light gray and appears to be carved with leaf designs. Beyond the oval frame is gray.

This painting shows a woman sitting with her body turned to the right, her hands clasped around her knees and her head tilted up to the ceiling. Her eyes are closed, and her long, wavy hair flows over her shoulders and down her back. She has pale skin, and her face is illuminated by dramatic lighting, highlighting her round cheeks and small nose. She is wearing a white blouse with ruffled sleeves that drapes off of her right shoulder, exposing her neck, sternum, and part of her shoulder. Over this shirt she seems to be wearing a draped purple garment with a yellow border that covers her other shoulder and her legs. The background is dark.

The image features a waterfall, potentially Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls. The viewpoint is elevated, overlooking the cascading water. The horizon line is high with land and water meeting in the distance. A bridge spans over the edge of the falls to the left. The brushstrokes are smooth, capturing the water's movement. The color palette consists of aquamarine, turquoise, white, and subtle earthy tones for the rocks and bridge. Red and beige star shapes add decoration. The sky is clear blue.
