@@vivie_jones Yes, I suspect it's a gas lamp with a large reflector that can be adjusted to change the effects of light and shadow on the model (as well as simply to improve the light levels for the artists to work by, when daylight was not available).
Lighting in the drawing studio is interesting; is it to emphasize chiaroscuro?
Thanks for the comment/question - just to clarify, which part of the video are you referring to?
@@arthistorical 1:34 I notice some sort of a spotlight on the model.
You have such a unique way of telling a story. You make art history interesting.
