About the piece

Painted in 1904 by French artist Albert Guillaume, this warm oil study titled 'La Correction' depicts the intimate relationship between mentor and pupil. The scene is set in a classic art studio, where soft light filters through a glass roof to illuminate plaster casts on the wall and the focused expressions of the subjects. Guillaume's skillful use of oil and pencil on wood panel captures a timeless sense of scholarly pursuit.
