What first catches your eye in this dim painter's studio is a brightly lit pile of classical sculptures. The light falls upon a sculpture of a muscular discus thrower immediately behind it. These are plaster casts of antique sculptures. The youth in yellow on the left is busy drawing one of the sculptures. The boy to the left of the standing sculpture is drawing from a bust on the table in front of him. Drawing from examples was a fixed part of a painter's training in the seventeenth century.
