Photographed by Thomas Eakins in Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, during the 1880s, an unusual scene featuring not just the model but two of the artists working on their depictions of his form. The picture is titled Charles Cox painting in the Art Student’s League : we can assume Mr Cox is the chap with the prominent white shirt sleeve, but take a careful look and you can spy a second, dark-clothed, student toward the left.
