Bouveret's use of the light in this painting is exceptional.  Interestingly, this model 
appears in a number of contemporaneous  paintings and academic drawings 
by quite a few different artists.  Not hard to see why he was popular.

  1. I've seen this one several times before but, with that superb lighting it always gives me a sense of drama. He appears to be looking at a piece of sawn wood? An excellent prop..
