DescriptionYoung men wearing suits are seated around a table which is draped and divided into compartments containing plaster casts. Some of the men draw on sketch pads held on their laps. Others sit at a table containing papers and books. A man with a mustache, probably the teacher, stands behind one of the students looking at his drawing. Electric light bulbs hang from the ceiling on wires.
