In the Studio 1881

"In the Studio" is a painting by Marie Bashkirtseff, a Russian-born artist who tragically died at the young age of 25. The painting depicts a scene from a life drawing class, where a group of women are sketching a nude male model. The painting reflects the growing interest in women's art education in the late 19th century, as well as the controversial nature of nude modeling. The realistic depiction of the scene, complete with details like the artist's supplies and the studio's furniture, provides a glimpse into the daily life of aspiring artists. The painting is currently housed in the Dnipropetrovsk Museum of Fine Arts in Ukraine.
