Lady Art Students in Paris

else a representation of Joseph's coat of many
colours, was working next a Hiytian negro ; a
countrywoman of Marie Bashkirtseff had her easel
alongside that of a merry-faced Japanese. In an-
other corner was an Italian girl of whom great things
were expected, and her nearest fellow worker was a
sandy-haired Scotsman. All were keen on their
work, and even the intrusion of a comparative
stranger interfered with them apparently not at all.
Had he not been vouched for by one of the
students who was an old member of the class, it is
not improbable his reception would have been more
lively than pleasant.
At most of the other studios very similar scenes
are being enacted every day. In many of them
there are at least three cours per day, the first
commencing at eight in the morning, and ending at
noon the second an hour later and ending at five,
and the third commencing at seven and closing at
ten. The very earnest male students will some-
times attend all three, and one wonders how they
can possibly stand the strain. The girl student, if
she be an enthusiastic worker may possibly attend
the morning and evening classes, resting in the after-
noon or working at home in her own room.
In connection with most academies, Concours
a well-known model from a photograph . , . , ,
of the schools by clive Holland (exhibitions) are held several times yearly. At the
Academic Julian there are five in each year, com-
mencing in October and taking place in the last
stronger natures among the girl art students will week of that and succeeding months. They are
probably decide upon attending one of the mixed divided into (a) portrait study, (6) full-length figure
classes, and there they will work shoulder to shoulder of a woman, (f) full-length figure of a man, (d)
with their brother art stu-
dents, drawing from the
costume or the living model
in a common spirit of
studenthood and cam-
araderie. At Colarossi's
one morning there were five
girls and half-a-score of
men working at time
sketches of a Spaniard in
matador costume; except
that 50 per cent, of the
men were Americans, there
was scarcely another in"
stance of two of the
workers being of the same
nationality. A pretty

with the marks of paint
brushes that it resembled
more than anything "the Luxembourg palace" from a photograph by clive Holland
