| Charles Holmes Self-Portrait Nude ca. 1890-95 drawing British Museum |
"Sir Charles Holmes's nude self-portrait emerged out of his idiosyncratic attempts to teach himself life drawing. The son of a clergyman, Holmes was educated at Eton and Brasenose, Oxford. He subsequently followed a career in publishing, at the same time joining an amateur sketching club, the Victoria Drawing Society. In the winter of 1891, conscious of his lack of formal academic training, he spent time independently studying from antique casts at the South Kensington Museum. . . . Holmes subsequently abandoned the figure, although he continued to paint for the rest of this life, principally landscapes in the Romantic tradition."

| William Strang The Model 1882 etching Victoria & Albert Museum, London |
"Scots by birth, William Strang was a product of the Slade School under Legros, whose assistant he became in the etching class in 1880. Strang shared Legros's liking for the "macabre and mysterious." In The Model of 1882 Strang depicted himself with the female nude model, hovering over her prone body with his shadowy accomplice, in a manner more reminiscent of a surgeon with a cadaver than an artist in the studio."
"William Orpen came to London to study at the Slade after having first received instruction at the Metropolitan School of Art in his hative Dublin. While at the Slade he cut a figure alongside Augustus John for his brilliant draughtsmanship. Unlike John, however, Orpen continued to be interested in making precise figure studies throughout his life. Later he taught the study of the figure at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin where "his thoroughness and dislike of humbug made him a most stimulating teacher."
