Dark Sorrel gathers works that share a single register: the deep, resinous tones of bark, soil, and dried pigment. A wall that evokes earth, resin and the passage of time.

Portrait of Gabrielle-Émilie le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet, Nicolas de Largillière (1656–1746).

A noblewoman holds her composure in a warm shadow, framed in the resinous browns Largillière mastered like no other portraitist of his generation. The sitter has long been identified as the Marquise du Châtelet  (the mathematician and translator of Newton's Principia) though Largillière specialist Dominique Brème has questioned that reading, proposing the figure may be an allegorical docte Uranie. The painting belonged to the Columbus Museum of Art from 1953 until 2010; its present location is not publicly documented.

Ontwerp voor raam in het Noordertransept in de Dom te Utrecht (Design for a window in the North Transept of the Dom, Utrecht), Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst (1868–1938).

Roland Holst was a key figure in the Dutch revival of stained glass, treating colour and line with the gravity of medieval craftsmen and the conviction of a Symbolist. This design, in deep terracottas and browns, was made for one of the most important churches in the Netherlands. Part of the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, bequeathed by the artist to the Dutch State in 1938.

Printed Cotton, Julie C. Brush (1942).

This watercolour was made for the Index of American Design, a vast New Deal project that sent artists across the United States to render everyday objects with the care once reserved for masterpieces. Brush's careful botanicals belong to a quiet, anonymous tradition of women whose hands shaped the visual record of American material culture. Part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
