Stylized painting of the interior of a library. People sit at tables reading books or magazines. A figure - perhaps a librarian - walks with an armload of books at right. At left, a man stands reading

Oil sketch by John Young Johnstone, titled The Chinese Shop c. 1920. A figure in blue (carrying what looks like a bucket) stands in front of a rust coloured building in Montreal's Chinatown. White streaks of snow highlight the ground, the signage, and the windows above. The composition is tightly framed on the figure and building and the paint is loosely applied, with simple strokes delineating the scene.

Black and white oil sketch of a man's head, viewed from the back with partial profile. The man is wearing a cap with a short brim over his face, and a light shirt.
Still photo of Barry Keoghan in profile, as the character Dominic in the movie The Banshees of Inisherin (2022). Behind him rises a rugged mossy landscape and an overcast sky.
I only see Barry Keoghan, as Dominic in Banshees, when I look at this 1893 oil sketch by William Blair Bruce (Art Gallery of Hamilton)
