    Hello Everyone!

    Hope you are staying safe with the crazy weather out there!

    Opinions on this photo?

    Art School? Artists in General?

    Recognize anyone?

    I'd love to see the model they're all looking toward! I'd say it's a school. Nothing written or printed to give an idea of a location?

    I think the fellow on the left is the Drawing Master. I do wonder about the age of the students. They aren't young enough to be enrolled. It must be a class for "Sunday painters." It looks vaguely European because of the men's suits.

    Great photo. I'd say a drawing class.

    I think it is an art school from the turn of the century.
    Notice that the artists pictured are all facing different directions. There are various sculptures set about that they are working on.

    The man to the left is probably the instructor and an "acclaimed" artist.

    I agree, "art school from the turn of the century." Googling "1900 drawing school" brings up several images of art classes with people in similar outfits. Probably USA because they are too prudish to have a model doing a Lady Godiva or The Thinker impersonation. ;)
