Artist Watrous and a Provocative Model at the Sherwood Studio
The New York Herald reports Harry W Watrous, secretary of the National Academy of Design, confirmed a troubling episode at his West Fifty-seventh Street studio. A young model, engaged to pose for a composition, behaved erratically, rushed to a window six stories above, and was restrained by Watrous. The painter described keeping professional composure while the model squirmed, shrieked, and finally left the scene, returning the model to her home and vowing she would not return.
