More Information
Courbet's study in oil for the head of the model in his L'Atelier du peintre hung only a few feet from Moore's armchair in the sitting room at Hoglands. By this time Moore was working increasingly in the house since his arthritis made the journey to his studio very difficult. Also see HMF 82(5) and 83(245).
