Model and Muse

Iris Tree by Augustus John.

Tree was a poet and artist’s model probably better known in a famous portrait by Amedeo Modigliani. John had a very robust career being one of the most well known artists in the UK in the early 20th century.

Artist Model

October, 1877 by James Tissot, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Another example of a Tissot model Kathleen Newton, the same one (I believe) as here. Often artists used the same models, even the same costumes as similar garments turn-up again and again.
