Pen and ink and watercolor. Bright afternoon light streams through tall studio windows, flooding the space with vibrant, varied colors in a Matisse-inspired palette. In the foreground, a life model, beautiful woman in early 20th-century stockings, bloomers, is undressing and taking off her corset just behind an ornate painted accordion screen. Her hair is loosely pinned. She is fully visible to the viewer, but the screen blocks her from the painter’s direct view. She peeks through a narrow gap between the painted panels — cranes and peonies in rich detail — toward a nervous looking artist preparing his easel and wearing a smock. The studio is alive with creativity: easels with half-finished paintings, jars of brushes, trailing ivy plants, a kimono draped over the screen, and art supplies scattered across a worn Persian rug. The mood is playful yet charged with intimacy, the daylight illuminating every texture and color.
