19th Century Men

It's 19th Century day, and we start with a photo for which I have no information.

 

Emile Fabry

This one is said to be by Emile Fabry.

 

Henri Brispot

This is French painter Henri Brispot in 1886.

He resembled Claude Debussy.

 

Australian

This 1890s nude young man wearing a wig was photographed 

by Robert Morse Withycombe of New South Wales, Australia.

 

Simart

This is an unusual salted paper print made by French sculptor Pierre-Charles Simart

as a study for his work.  This was probably produced about 1856.

 

Affectionate Trio

These three men are Jean-Baptiste Pigny, architect; Charles Gounod, composer; 

and Edouard Dubufe, artist.  I do not know the photographer's name.

 

1895

Academic Art Day

We haven't had an academic art series for quite a while, 

so I'll start one with this drawing by Lefevre from 1871.

 

1881

The date, 1881, is easy to read, but not the signature.  Anyone?

 

Alex Bafcop

I couldn't find a date for this one by Alex Bafcop,

but it certainly looks 19th Century.

 

Ernest Hebert

I really like this one by Ernest Hebert, and I can't exactly say why.

 

Theodore Krause

Even the cushion is beautifully done in this drawing by Theodore Krause.

 

Camille Pissarro

It was 1850 when the great Camille Pissarro did this drawing of a hefty man.

This is not what one expects, and I'd really like to see more of this model.

 

Albert Robida

Albert Robida completed this in 1867.

 

Unknown

I have neither a name nor a date for this one,

which is sad because it's beautifully done.

 

Theodore Robinson

A model posed as a boxer for Theodore Robinson in 1875.

 

Christian Schussele

Our closing drawing is by Christian Schussels from 1876.

 

Stripes

Mmmmm . . . stripes.  Mr. Left makes me swoon.

 

19th Century Miscellany

Today's series is an assortment of 19th Century photos.  We start with 

a handsome fellow whose photographer is unknown, as is he.

 

Loincloth

I know a few of you viewers who fancy men in loincloths, and this fellow 

should fit the bill.  I have to say I'm quite taken with that bulge.
