About the piece

Painted in Rome in 1869, Auguste Dutuit’s work offers an intimate glimpse into the atmosphere of a nineteenth-century atelier. The composition depicts models in vibrant traditional attire amidst the inspiring clutter of the artist's trade—from classical plaster busts and musical instruments to heavy volumes and scattered sketches. The mastery of textures, from the heavy drapery to the polished wood of the lute, creates a sophisticated and engaging interior scene.
