About the piece

Painted in 1879 by Henri Fantin-Latour, this work captures a quiet moment of instruction and artistic practice. The composition is richly layered with studio essentials—an easel, a plaster cast, and a vibrant bouquet of rhododendrons—rendered in the artist's signature luminous and atmospheric style.
