Essayer at the Musée du Louvre

Essayer: Trying out. From which comes the English word "essay."
                                                                                             




And I hope you'll stop by and throw your name in the hat

    Gorgeous photo Deb. I love seeing artists at work, it's so fascinating, and interesting to see grand old art inspiring new art so directly.

    What a fabulous study of a young artist. I have fond memories of watching young artists sketching in the Louvre. This is lovely!

    I love watching artists copy the masters ... I feel as though I have traveled back to the time of the grand Salon.

    His drawing looks pretty intricate. I'm impressed. Love this painting and of course, the Louvre. Thanks for playing along with Dreaming of France. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme

    I remember all the artists in the French museums trying their hand at "copying" the masters. And, I have a copy of Eight Hundred Grapes which seems to be the IT book of the summer; looking forward to reading it, although I'm not usually a fan of what's popular. ;)

    What an interesting photo! It seems to beg the viewer to climb into a story about what the essayer is doing.

    That must take some talent to pull that off. Its way beyond my drawing skills.
