Popular model


This handsome model must have been in demand.
He appears in quite a few drawings in my collection.

  1. At first I mistook this for a photo. It really is amazing. But how old is it? There's the male detail that would not have been "common" back then. Don't mean to be offensive.

    1. The model appears in a number of sketches and paintings from around 1875. I know what you mean by the detail (not offensive) and can't explain it except to say it's not unheard of and could be for a number of reasons.

    2. A truly stunning model. Beautifully drawn. I'm guessing the "detail" is, looking at the ridge behind, that he has retracted.
