Description
In the foreground is a nude model who has covered her pubic area and right thigh with a blanket. In the middle of the picture a stone (probably marble) with charcoal strokes, in which the sculptor has drawn the figure to some extent. The full-bearded sculptor now gives the model instructions on how to sit. Next to him is a journeyman who will do part of the bone work of knocking the model out of the stone" (UW); ref.
