Model with students
I really like the way the model is posing for a picture with the art students
with what may be one of their images of him at the side.
Le modèle est nu mais porte un chapeau :) In Paris modèles were generally other students and select local men. Manual laborers were typically chosen for their muscular physiques.
True about the Paris models. At one point in the mid to late 19th Century, they were almost all working men, and there were certain models in high demand. There was even a system for fairly assigning the work.
I was shocked when I saw this photo! The man on the right looks strangely like my biological father at first glance!
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
