Sculptor's Studio
Artist: Louis Moeller (American, 1855–1930)
Original Dimensions: 23" x 30"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (probably 1880s) "The many late nineteenth-century representations of studios reflected an increase in artists’ strategic self-fashioning and in patrons’ curiosity about their lives. American sculptors of the period collected prints, photographs, statuettes, and plaster casts for reference in making their own works. The unidentified sculptor whose studio Moeller portrayed here has gathered, among varied possessions, well-known casts after renowned antiquities, including the dying lioness from the Assyrian series of Ashurbanipal’s lion hunt (on the back wall) and a section of the north frieze of the Parthenon (above the door)." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
