That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 21, 2012

The standing one says, " They used me for the model of Aphrodite". The one on the floor says, “Zzzzz…”

He certainly enjoyed painting the female figure.

Seems like only yesterday she was just a little shaver…

see this is why the germans hate the greeks.

It all started out as a sleep-over, then Melissa said……..

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

What they are saying is “We need a Man!”

Why not?……in Minot?

The link provided by Baslim says he failed in one competition because “his figure drawing was inadequate.” If this failed, can you post some of the works that passed?

Mislabeled click-to-enlarge image available from here.That description says it is the sketch at Musee d’Orsay (Paris, France). Here is the museum’s online image of that sketch.The Wikipedia collection of paintings by this artist has both the image used in the strip (and mislabeled enlargement) and a click-to-enlarge image of the sketch (albeit a different coloration) that better shows the differences (mainly in the models’ facial features).The website @Baslim the begger found also has both the sketch and strip images.This, available from here, says the painting in the strip is part of the Collection of Lady Micheline Connery, wife of Sir Sean Connery, the actor. But it doesn’t say if it’s the (8.27″ × 6.1″) greeting-card size of the sketch. Wikipedia page showing other works by this artist/teacher.Fourth of the 11 times (10 works, so proud of one pseudo-title, Mr. Melcher used it again) this artist has, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.

She’s just showing off to attract the dark haired guy in the blue toga. Must be pretty important or very um ‘artistically skilled’ if he’s in that room.

New title: Pornography, 1860

@#6: Aahh,ha,ha,ah,ha,ha,ho,ho,ho,ya,ya,ya, mmmm,aaaah,whuh! What?

@#6 Once again, as Red Green would say, “If you can’t be handsome might as well be handy!”

I nude there would be comments like this!

see kids, this is an upscale brothel where daddy goes to do stuff that mommy won’t do.

Jean-Leon has setup a hidden camera in the girls’ locke rr-room at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts….

@Number Six: Many jerks have been influenced by this painting.

I really gotta hand it to them.

When I was in my teens, I did a reclining nude of myself on a piece of plywood. I’m pretty sure my parents disposrd of it.

This painting does seem to be of that same amateur quality

Ummm…it really is an actual ladies’ restroom, right??

The Desperate Housewives of the Acropolis are in the next room.

Here is another work by this artist, one that Mr. Melcher has used twice in his blog.
