I especially admire the subtle treatment of morning light across the sheets.

In 1931 Paul Cadmus, 26, made this painting of his lover Jared French. The painting, Jerry, remained in the French family until recently, when it was acquired by the Toledo Museum of Art. The painting is on view in a recent acquisitions exhibition and will move into Toledo's permanent collection galleries next month.
