Burly Instructor


This drawing is by Phillip Fleischer (1850-1930), and the model was Johannes Schilling, 
the sculpture instructor at the Dresden Art Academy.
Edited to add:  I just noticed that I posted this some time ago, but it's work another look.

  1. Good to see this one again. A wonderful, powerful physique. Great to see the stack of life studio boxes, still used today.

    1. David, I agree about the physique, but I was even more impressed to find that this was an instructor from the Academy. I can't help but think that his willingness to pose made him a better teacher.
