Sargent filled many of the pages with his exercises in copying classical statuary from the famous plaster cast collection of Dresdens Albertinum museum.

Nude Model, Reclining Made 1893 United States. By the 1890s, Whistler had tired of the conservative art world of London and had moved to Paris, where he rented an elegant studio. He became preoccupied with capturing the essence of the female form in various states, dancing, posing, sleeping, nude, or draped in translucent fabrics. In Nude Model, Reclining, Whistler used the medium of transfer lithography to convey the immediacy of an informal studio session. During Whistlerís lifetime, this artfully composed image of a sinuous model posing on a rectangular sofa proved to be among his most popular lithographs..
