Study for "L'Avis du modèle"
(18th and 19th Centuries )
This drawing is related to a painting by Bargue titled "The Opinion of the Model" (1874), which is now unlocated. In the painting the model wears a shift on her upper body and her legs are covered. She stands beside the artist (depicted in the costume of the 18th-century) examining a large allegorical painting.
