This delightful watercolour with blue and black ink details depicts a model posing for a life drawing class. Through capturing the other artist's canvases in the background, Josse shows the infinite ways in which this model could be portrayed.
Using expressive ink lines and a wash of watercolours, Josse has given this scene a relaxed and expressive atmosphere. Signed to the lower right.
On wove.Even discolouration and some surface marks, particularly to the right-hand side.
