This is my latest pencil drawing, based on a work by Charles Bargue, an artist from the 1800s who created a famous drawing course. 

Charles Bargue (c. 1826/1827 – April 6, 1883), who is mostly remembered for his Cours de dessin, one of the most influential classical drawing courses (conceived in collaboration with Jean-Léon Gérôme), created the original of this drawing and thousands of students have copied Bargue’s version since then.
