The Harper\u2019s Weekly issue in which this engraving appeared contained a brief history of the Louvre. The piece was introduced with a reference to Homer\u2019s time in Paris, and the text extolled the Louvre for its invaluable role in aiding aspiring artists. In this drawing Homer concentrated on the growing number of women among the legions of students in Paris. These modern females are shown copying Eugène Delacroix\u2019s The Death of Sardanapolous, 1826, a monumental canvas whose violent imagery was in sharp contrast to the genteel still lifes and dainty watercolors that were generally considered suitable \u201cfeminine\u201d subjects and formats. In essence, Homer addressed in this work the revolution in art education for women in the post-Civil War era.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
