Sitting Down on the Job, Part 2 - 19th C. Academic Art



You see a lot of 19th C. academic art here because all the reputable art schools in 
Europe required their students to draw and/or paint nude men.  There are more 
drawings than paintings out there in the land of the internet, but this time I am 
featuring paintings of seated models.  We start with one by Kobke from 1833.

  1. A rather awkward pose. Sitting on the edge of the box, with only a thin pad.

    1. More than a little awkward. The poor guy's face says, "How long do I have to do this?"
