Anyone who has followed this or my old tumblr blog knows that I have a thing for late 19th and very early 20th Century studio male nudes. This is my current favorite. probably because it loosely follows a Classical motif and has a naturally well formed model.
This is wonderful. Presumably done as an action pose of an artist model reference for those unable to attend a class. A nicely built fairly mature man with, I think.. a classic Victorian tache. Speaking as a life model I would use the cloth "tourniquet" to stabilise the position of both arms and the head. neat idea...one to try..thank you including this one.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're quite welcome. I knew you would have a special appreciation of this one, and I was looking forward to your comments.
DeleteYou know me so well..I'm modelling tomorrow. Planning to use a bandage in a similar pose..
DeleteIt worked...as did several more using the same technique.
