The Mona Lisa sits with folded hands in front of a winding landscape, and Vermeer's girl looks over her shoulder in a turban and a large pearl earring.

A Sunday gathering fills a tree-lined riverside park, with parasols, hats, long clothing, and a small animal on the grass. Sailboats cross the water beyond the shaded bank.
Flowering branches spread across the page, filled with open almond blossoms, rounded buds, fine stamens, and textured bark. A thick trunk curves upward into slender twigs.
Spring sits amid abundant blossoms, flowing hair and draped fabric, framed by curved stems and an ornate circular halo filled with repeating petal motifs.
An outdoor cafรฉ terrace extends beneath a broad awning, with round tables, curved chairs, hanging lanterns, and a cobblestone street leading past tall buildings under a crescent moon and stars.
A girl looks back in a head-and-shoulders portrait, wearing a wrapped head covering with long hanging fabric, a rounded collar, and a large pearl-shaped earring.
Hunters and dogs descend a snowy, tree-lined slope toward a village. Frozen fields wind among steep roofs, a church, bare branches and distant mountains beneath flying birds.
A riverside luncheon unfolds beneath a broad awning beside the water, with a crowded table of bottles, glasses, fruit, flowers, and plates. Sailboats, trees, and distant buildings fill the background.
Mona Lisa poses with folded hands resting on a ledge, wearing a flowing robe and head covering. Mountains, trees, winding paths, water, and an arched bridge fill the distant landscape.
Mount Fuji rises above a dense forest canopy beneath long, layered clouds. Jagged snow streaks descend from the summit, while visible trunks and branches break through the rounded treetops.
A rectangular grid of square panels holds nested circular and oval rings. Straight dividing lines contrast with varied off-center shapes and gently irregular curves.
A rounded vase holds a full arrangement of sunflowers, with broad leaves, curved stems, open flower heads, and drooping blooms above a simple tabletop line.
A narrow bedroom contains a large wooden bed, chairs with woven seats, and a table holding a pitcher and basin. An open window, plank floor, hanging garments, a hat, and framed wall pictures complete the room.
A dance class practices in a mirrored studio, with a raised-arm pose near the center and others waiting along the walls. Layered tutus, tied bows, ballet slippers, tall windows, and floorboards fill the scene.
Towering curling waves rise over narrow boats, with foamy crests and scattered droplets filling the scene. A sharply peaked mountain appears beyond the rolling water.
An arched Japanese footbridge spans a pond filled with water lilies and broad lily pads. Drooping willow branches, reeds, flowers, shrubs, and trees frame the water and bridge.
The Kiss centers on a close embrace beneath patterned robes filled with rectangles, circles, spirals, and flower clusters. A dense meadow of blossoms and leaves borders the composition.
The Milkmaid pours liquid from a small jug into a bowl on a cloth-covered table. Bread, a woven basket, pottery, a window, and hanging kitchen containers fill the simple interior.
The Scream holds both hands beside an open mouth on a bridge with strong diagonal railings. Swirling sky bands, winding water, small sailboats and a steep shoreline fill the background.
Swirling bands fill the night sky around circular stars and a crescent moon, while a tall cypress rises beside a clustered village, pointed steeple, rolling hills, and trees.
A tall patterned tree rises from rolling hills, filling the scene with curling spiral branches and geometric trunk motifs. A bird perches on a branch above small flowers at the base.
A tiger crouches among dense tropical foliage as slanting rain falls across the scene. Broad leaves, curling grasses, hanging vines and wind-bent plants surround the striped animal.
Vertumnus appears as a frontal portrait assembled from pears, apples, grapes, gourds, leaves, flowers, grain, and corn, with curved pods forming a mustache and an artichoke-like beard.
Water lilies bloom among broad lily pads on a rippling pond. Hanging willow branches frame the water, while reeds and distant shrubs line the banks.
A woman in a flowing dress looks back while holding a parasol in a windswept meadow. Tall grasses, scattered flowers, trailing ribbons, and billowing clouds fill the open landscape.

Kandinsky's grid of concentric circles has the fewest lines, with a few rings in each square. Van Gogh's Sunflowers in a vase and Hokusai's Red Fuji with its rows of clouds also have large open areas compared with the busy park and party scenes.
