This drawing was labeled "Schyndler Pantaleon - Academie,1874."
At first glance, I thought he was wielding some sort of weapon, 
but now I think he looks like a naked subway strap hanger.

  1. Funny your should say naked subway strap hanger. When on the tube I often muse that another passenger that catches my eye is, or should be a life model. Something in the way they stand.

    1. Well, most of us would just muse on what he might look like naked, but you do have a unique point of view.

    2. Well, naked may come first, but not necessarily related to sexual attraction. A good shaped head, strong hands, a physical presence. I've yet to approach anyone suggesting they might model. Perhaps I should.

    3. That would be interesting. Let me know how it goes if you ever try it.

    4. I have tried it with a few artists when chatting with them when I'm modelling. I'll let you know. There was a guy on the tube yesterday, amazing bone structure. Clearly under the tight chinos, white shirt and mask there was a magnificent specimen....

  2. Interesting topic for modeling, as I would ride the subway from one booking to another,and overheard comments on my suitability as a fashion model from time to time. Never got any work out of it.
