books0977: The Artist and his Model (1875). Alexei Alexeevich Harlamoff (Russian, 1840-1925). Oil on canvas. Harlamoff portrayed reading women many times in his later work, and he depicted this young reader as a model. The mirror in this painting reveals Harlamoff in his studio in Paris. By disguising his self-portrait in a mirror, the artist evokes the well-known imagery of Rembrandt and Velazquez, two Old Masters whom he is known to have admired. -- source link
