That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 21, 2017

The last thing the artist needed was someone masplaining to her how to use shadows and light.

That always happens. Try to take a picture of somebody and some jokers show up in the background.

Excuse me Mr President … could you please stop scratching your genitals?

(Wonders if the artist was a widow. That would make her La Veuve Capet, which is ironic.)

High school portrait day often had to be extended.

LMAO

Life as Caricaturist was extremely dangerous during the French Revolution

Over the shoulder guy: That does not look like him! Lady: Get your finger out of my face!!!

Everyone’s a critic !

President Trump official portrait.

It turns out there’s actually quite a story here. Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818), painter of this image, studied under the artist portrayed here, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749 – 1803). Capet painted this scene after Labille-Guiard’s death, so it is of the nature of a memorial. Labille-Guiard studied under a man, François-Elie Vincent, a friend of her family, and married François-Andre Vincent, François-Elie’s son, also a painter. So, either of those gentlemen could be the one doing the mansplaining. A portrait of the elder Vincent, her father-in-law, painted by Labille-Guiard, can be seen at the Wikipedia page for him and at her page as well. To my eye, it looks quite a bit like the mansplainer in this painting. Of course, in that age, a father-in-law would see nothing wrong with publicly correcting his daughter-in-law. I think the mansplainer is unlikely to be the son because of the gray hair, but that could be powder rather than the natural color. However, his dress is of an older style than that of the young men around him, who, significantly, do not have their hair powdered. Last but not least, I think it is quite possible that the other artist, the woman at the left looking sadly out at us, is the artist herself, Marie-Gabrielle Capet, in mourning for her friend and teacher. Self-portraits of Capet are available via Google image search.

Sadly, my comment there still has no active hyperlinks (&?@#!#%&!).

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1668 (March 20, 2017) entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box below the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

Rugeirn: The image in the first file I pointed to is annotated (you can mouse over it to see the names of some of the participants). When I posted my comment, it had the names of the 2 women interchanged (Capet at the easel, and Labelle-Guiard seated next to her). I have since corrected that based on your comment, and a more careful reading the the translated Description in the file. Thanks!!

This guy’s already paying me to do that, but thanks for the $50 bucks!

Be sure to include his wife carrying on in the background.
