His Favorite Model (c.188_). John Ferguson Weir (American, 1841-1926). Oil on canvas. Yale University Art Gallery.
Up until the widespread use of photography, it was common for artists to use lay figures, elaborate jointed models, made of wood, to stand in place of the model. It was not practical or feasible to have a live sitting model for every hour needed to complete a painting. Here, the Pygmalion-like action of the figure adds levity.
