This is byThéodore Chassériau, a Study after the Model Joseph, 1838. Oil on canvas. Musée Ingres Bourdelle, Apparently Mr. Chasseriau was trying out several versions of the hands in the study. And then there's the fact that the model seems to be taking a leap off a rock.
La peinture a une qualité dynamique, not typical of Chassériau. A student of Ingres and influenced by Delacroix he had his own formel style.
