#artists models

Another photograph from Thomas Eakins’ painting studio in Pennsylvania, c1884 - akin to this image posted last month.

Completing the set of 1880s artists’ reference photographs by Louis Jean-Baptiste Igout (the first part can be seen here), I think I’ve seen the pose in the lower left published singly, but the rest are all new to me.

Another set of artists’ reference photographs by Louis Jean-Baptiste Igout, published in the 1880s. While most depicted a lone model, this page features a sequence of double poses, where the men enact a fight, a dramatic death scene, and much more besides.
