Regular price

We are definitely in an artist's studio, perhaps even at an art school, figure study class. We love the inclusion of the plaster equine head at the model's feet, a copy of one of the Elgin marbles, very much part of the equipment at a painting academy for the last two centuries, perhaps not so much today. Indeed it is a copy of the famous marble statue attributed to Pheidias from the East pediment of the Parthenon now in the British museum.
Oil on canvas, unframed, measuring 34" x 39 3/4" x 1". Some fraying and wear visible at the very edges.
