Juliet and Her Nurse (Coleccion de Arte Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat, Buenos Aires) was sold in New York in May 1980 from the Whitney Collection for $6,400,000, a record for any painting at the time.

In his best-known and largest painting, Georges Seurat depicted people relaxing
in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte. The
artist worked on the painting in several campaigns, beginning in 1884 with a layer
of small horizontal brushstrokes of complementary colors. He later added small
dots, also in complementary colors, that appear as solid and luminous forms
when seen from a distance. - impressionist-ART.com

Édouard Manet - A woman pouring water 1858. The picture has subtle
allusions to Italian Renaissance painting in the poetic way Suzanne is
depicted. The colouring and the placing of the figure in front of a window
with a view of a Classical landscape, too, recalls Italian Renaissance
pictures. The painting of Suzanne forms part of a whole series of very
complex compositions in which Manet, as an avantgardist, very consci-
ously explored and challenged the tradition of painting. - ArtsViewer.com
