The Drawing School, Michael Sweerts (1660)
A seventeenth-century academy or artist’s studio: a teacher, seen from behind, gives a group of boys a drawing lesson. Between them, in the centre, stands a nude male model. In the past it was thought that this was the studio of Frans Hals and his pupils (among them some of his sons). However, there are no good arguments to support this interpretation.
