Briefly about the painting:

The idea of the author becomes clear when you carefully look at the characters and their paintings. They are united by the tasl to paint female nude. A model is alone, though, she is depicted differently on the canvases of different painters. The canvas, on which the model girl is fully dressed and holds a big fish, and the painting where the child is sitting on her shoulder make you smile. Especially original is the female artist who depicted male nude. However, on all easels, the main detail is present – arms outstretched to the sides. The scaling of the participants in the process from a huge master in the center to tiny painters is not accidental – this is how the author designated the status of less experienced or less successful artists.
