Elizabeth Gowdy Baker (1860-1927) was an American portrait painter.
 Born at Xenia, Ohio, she studied at the Cooper Union, Art Students' League, New York School of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Cowles Art School in Boston; under Frederick Freer, William Chase, and Harry Siddons Mowbray.
 She medaled at Cooper Union.
 She was a member of the Boston Art Students' Association and the Art Workers' Club for Women, New York.
 This artist painted numerous portraits and was especially successful with pictures of children.
 She had a method of her own, claiming that it was excellent for life-size portraits in watercolors.
 The paper she used was heavier than any made in the US at the time, and was imported.
 Her watercolors were very strong.
 She stated that in this method, she got "the strength of oils with the daintiness of water-colors, and that it is beautiful for women and children, and sufficiently strong for portraits of men".
 She rarely exhibited, and her portraits were kept in private houses.
In India, the Director General of Police (DGP) is a three-star rank and the highest ranking police officer in Indian States and Union Territories.
 All DGPs are Indian Police Service (IPS) officers.
 The DGP is usually the head of the state police force in every Indian state in which case the officer is called State Police Chief, which is a cabinet selection post.
 Vis-a-vis other All India Services it is equal in rank to the Head of Forest Forces for the Indian Forest Service.
 There may also be additional officers in the state who hold the rank of DGP.
 Common appointments for such officers include Director of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, Director General of Prisons, Director General of fire forces and civil defence, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Police Housing Society etc.
 Additionally officers who hold the rank of DGP may have commensurate appointments in central government organisations such as Director, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Director SVPNPA, DG Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) etc.
 The rank insignia of a Director General of Police or Commissioner of Police (in Delhi) is the national emblem over crossed sword and baton.
Alicia Markova "The Dying Swan" (also known as "The Dying Swan", but not to be confused with another painting with the same title by the same artist started in 1949 and completed in 1951) is a painting by Vladimir Tretchikoff painted in 1949.
 In this portrait fantasy, Tretchikoff has identified the prima ballerina Alicia Markova in her most famous role - "The Dying Swan" - from which, as did Anna Pavlova, she has become inseparable in the minds of all lovers of the ballet; it is for this reason that the artist painted the swan and Markova as one and the same being.
The portrait of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière was painted in 1806 by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and today hangs in the Louvre.
 It is the third of three portraits of the Rivière family the artist painted that year.
 Caroline's father, Philibert Rivière, was a successful court official under Napoleon's empire, and sought to commemorate himself, his wife and daughter through a commission with the then young and rising artist—his portraits of and his wife are also still extant.
 Although Ingres favoured subject matter drawn from history or Greek legend, at this early stage in his career he earned his living mainly through commissions from wealthy patrons.
 The family lived outside Paris, at St. Germain-en-Laye, and
Pieter Cnoll, also Pieter Knoll (1672), was a Dutchman who became Director General in Batavia.
 He married Cornelia van Nijenroode, an Indo Eurasian who was the daughter of Cornelis van Nieuwroode (also Cornelis van Nijenroode, former VOC Opperhoofden in Japan in 1623-1631) with a Japanese woman named Surishia.
 His family was depicted in a painting by Jacob Coeman.
Portrait painting in Scotland includes all forms of painted portraiture in Scotland, from its beginnings in the early sixteenth century until the present day.
 The origins of the tradition of portrait painting in Scotland are in the Renaissance, particularly through contacts with the Netherlands.
 The first portrait of a named person that survives is that of Archbishop William Elphinstone, probably painted by a Scottish artist using Flemish techniques around 1505.
 Around the same period Scottish monarchs turned to the recording of royal likenesses in panel portraits, painted in oils on wood.
 The tradition of royal portrait painting in Scotland was probably disrupted by the minorities and regencies it underwent for much of the sixteenth century.
 It began to flourish after the Reformation, with paintings of royal figures and nobles by Netherlands artists Hans Eworth, Arnold Bronckorst and Adrian Vanson.
 A specific type of Scottish picture from this era was the "vendetta portrait", designed to keep alive the memory of an atrocity.
 The Union of Crowns in 1603 removed a major source of artistic patronage in Scotland as James VI and his court moved to London.
 The result has been seen as a shift "from crown to castle", as the nobility and local lairds became the major sources of patronage.
The Director General of the Indian Coast Guard (DG ICG) is the head of the Indian Coast Guard.
 The DG ICG has their office in the Coast Guard Headquarters (CGHQ) in New Delhi.
 Appointed by the Government of India, the DG ICG reports to the Minister of Defence.
 The Director General is assisted by four Deputy Directors General, each holding the rank of inspector-general, and other senior officers heading various staff divisions.
 The Additional Director General of the ICG serves as the second-in-command to the Director General.
 The post of Director General of the Indian Coast Guard is held by a three-star rank holder as a position and is not a rank in itself.
 It is a Commander-in-Chief grade and is equivalent to Vice Admiral of the Indian Navy, Lieutenant General of the Indian Army and the Air Marshal of the Indian Air Force.
 The rank of Additional Director General of the Indian Coast Guard is equivalent to vice admiral of Higher Administrative Grade of the Indian Navy.
Batavia was the name of the capital city of the Dutch East Indies and corresponds to the present-day city of Jakarta.
 Just as modern Jakarta may refer to either the city itself or to the larger area of the city, with its geographic surroundings, which taken together is one of the provinces of Indonesia, Batavia can refer to the city proper as it existed then, with its various increases over time in urbanized acreage, or can refer to the surrounding hinterland.
Pieter Nason (ca. 1612, Amsterdam - 1688/90 The Hague) was a Dutch painter.
 He became a member of the Guild of Painters of The Hague in 1639, and in 1656 was one of the forty seven members who established the 'Pictura Society.
 From a MS. by Pieter Terwesten, it appears not improbable that Nason was a pupil of Jan van Ravensteyn; and it is believed that his name has been effaced from pictures since attributed to Mierevelt, Moreelse, and above all to Ravensteyn.
 It is certain that he painted the portrait of Prince Mauritz, Governor of the Brazils , engraved by Houbraken, and those of Charles the Second of England, engraved by C. Van Dalen and Sandrart, and of the Grand Elector.
 At Berlin there is a full-length portrait, dated 1667, of the latter, by Nason; also a still life, representing gold, silver, and glass vessels, likewise a portrait by him signed and dated 1670.
 There are others at Copenhagen and at Rotterdam.
 The date of his death is not known, but his life was long.
 Redgrave gives the initial of his Christian name wrongly as R.
Four Times of the Day is a series of four paintings depicting four times of the day: "Morning", "Midday", "Evening" and "Night" by the French landscape painter Claude Joseph Vernet (1714–1789), held by the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide.
 These paintings are part of a series of painting illustrating the themes of morning, midday, evening and night that the artist painted in the year 1757.
