Unknown artist


Not all 19th C. academic art pieces were drawings.  
A number of good paintings were produced, including this one.

  1. A familiar pose. Placing the elbow just right as not to slip off the knee. Hooking the left hand on the hip to stabilise. Again those boxes with the hand grips.

    1. It's almost like structural engineering with the human body, isn't it? I find that charming somehow.

    2. It is. As I've said I often try out these poses before commenting. Judging how to place limbs for maximum stability.
