William Etty Guardsman Higgins ca. 1830 oil on panel National Army Museum, London |
"Men of the London-based Guards regiments commonly posed for artists as a means of supplementing their low wages. Strict height regulations were imposed on the Guards, with a minimum height of 5 feet 9 inches (179 cm) in a period where the average height for a man was about 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm). This made them excellent models for life drawing. Some went so far as to prostitute themselves for extra money, and could be found by male clients in particular London taverns."

Ary Scheffer Francesca da Rimini 1835 oil on canvas Wallace Collection, London |
"Scheffer enjoyed enormous success with sentimental and religious scenes, many of which became the subject of popular engravings. Francesca da Rimini was one of his most admired works – this is the first version, but he produced many others. A subject from Dante's Inferno, it shows Dante and his guide Virgil during their passage through Hell. They look on the tragic figures of Paolo and Francesca, condemned with the souls of the lustful to the stormy darkness of Hell's second circle."
