llustration of a Red-Winged Blackbird in an autumnal scene, perched on a branch amongst falling leaves, surrounded by burnished filligree on a textured canvas. Colors are browns and oranges, with blues in the distant suggested sky that match the blue blacks in the blackbird.

official museum photo of the nautilus lamp; Bronze, leaded glass Overall: 34.5 x 21.3 x 13.4 cm (13 9/16 x 8 3/8 x 5 1/4 in.); DESCRIPTION Benjamin Hubbell, the architect of the Cleveland Museum of Art, acquired this vase from Louis Comfort Tiffany, with whom he collaborated on various projects. The shape of the nautilus shell provides the perfect space to conceal a light bulb, the newest form of technology at the time. As a result, this lamp was a critical success and sold both in this original form and with the later alteration of a bronze mermaid for the stand and an actual nautilus shell for the shade. https://clevelandart.org/art/1997.298

A portrait orientation shot taken from one side of a river flowing through a big city. We're looking across flat, green-toned water at a high, sheer bank of bricks and columns, all reflected on the rippled water's surface, that support a road with buildings behind it. In the distance there are some modernist tower blocks but our focus is on the lower, wider building that sits behind the road that runs by the river. The architecture is art nouveau and brightly coloured in shades of green with bold yellow accents. The central part of the façade is a huge decorative arch formed from large, square, pale green tiles. The upper part of the arch interior is a fan-light arrangement with yellow and darker green petals fanning out and a clock mounted in the centre. The lower part of the arch is filled with glass windows split into three rows of ten rectangular panes. Similar window areas are to either side of this arch but with twelve panes across each, grouped into three groups of four and with the upper row arched. These areas are further flanked by square, thick stone columns, highly decorated with reliefs and fluted columns of their own.

From a listing by Bonhams London: “Thais' a Rare Art Deco Patinated Bronze and Carved Ivory Model of an Exotic Dancer, circa 1925 she is depicted posing on one knee with arms outstretched, dressed in pleated costume with draped sleeves, her figure hugging bodice enhanced with raised ornamentation, her neck encrusted with layers of necklace in a silver patination, raised off an elaborate marble base.”
