This is the 1900 painting studio class at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
I know that in those days no respectable lady would participate in such a class. I notice that a majority of the students seem to be "posing" for the camera rather than paying attention to the model and their painting. I guess being photographed back then was unusual enough to be a distraction.

ReplyDeleteYes, getting one's photo made was a big deal.
DeleteDelightful. One of those "time machine" photographs. I wish I was there..
ReplyDeleteHad I been there at the time, I believe that I probably would have kept my eyes on the model.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely want to be an art student.
