Early 19th C.


Louis-Leopold Boilly painted "In the Studio of Houdon" about 1803.  Houdon was a sculptor 
as shown, but interestingly there are two students who appear to be drawing the model.

  1. Another well lit one. With these I assume, certain artists would expect to be included, yet we also have the artist looking directly at us, and the model's clothes. Nothing changes, I always stack mine on a nearby chair. Love all the busts and sculpture examples. Note how close the central sculptor is to the model.

    1. The artist looking at us is a lot like some of those in the photo Larry K sent me.
