Below, in the previous post, there is a painting by Alfred Munnings (1878-1959) which I came across by accident. It is an academic study, but a good one, probably done from life. It is the sort of thing that was required of art students in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The study of the human figure and how to represent it is still a part of most higher art education today, although intensive study, the kind Munnings probably went through, is rare today.
