In the Studio (1881) by Marie Bashkirtseff (1858-1885); she is the student in the foreground looking over her shoulder. Wikimedia Commons
Marie Bashkirtseff’s enrollment at Académie Julian may have overlapped with George Moore’s; it was close enough for her to paint the studio as it appeared to him in the mid 1870s. Rodolphe Julian’s painting of the studio interior, with Moore present, is shown elsewhere in this Iconography.
Académie Julian was in the Passage des Panoramas, a web of interconnected arcades occupying a city block in Montmartre, Paris. George Moore apparently rented rooms above one or more of the arcades; they were return addresses in letters home.
Undated photograph in the mid 1880s of students including Akseli Gallen-Kallela at Académie Julian, about ten years after George Moore studied there. All of these students are male whereas in the painting by Marie Bashkirtseff (and in other vintage photographs) all are female. Wikimedia Commons
