Henriette Morel (1883-1956, French)

Born in a large family (four girls and a boy), Henriette followed the lessons of Jean-Louis Loubet and Claude Lucien Barriot, painters from Lyon. The girls were not admitted to the Ecole des Beaux- Arts until 1907. Henriette became the muse, the model, then, perhaps, the mistress of the painter Pierre Combet-Descombes with whom she shared the life of a painter. An independent and modern woman, she exhibited in 1903 at the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, then at the Salon d'Automne in the same city and at the Salon Sud-Est. Several paintings are purchased by the State, others by the city of Lyon. She was a teacher appreciated by her students, some of whom became known painters, notably Hélène Mourriquand. She practices pastel, watercolor and oil painting, she paints nudes, landscapes and portraits.

Fig. 318: Jan Brueghel I & Hendrik van Balen I, Air (detail), 1611, oil on canvas, 46 x 83 cm, Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.

"The first dated representation of a telescope in paint can be found in Brueghel I’s Air [Fig. 317] made in collaboration with Hendrik van Balen I in 1611. The telescope depicted in this painting has previously gone unnoticed. It was thought to be included first in the allegory of Air or Optics of 1621 [Fig. 316], created for Brueghel’s patron Cardinal Federico Borromeo.1286 A telescope can nevertheless also be discerned in the Air signed and dated 'Brueghel 1611,' the last in a series of the four elements presumably created for the Archdukes.1287 The personification of Aurora or Urania (the Muse of astronomy) holds feathers and a bird-of-paradise in her left, and an armillary sphere in her right hand. Next to the armillary sphere, partly covered by her right arm, a telescope is visible, to which an eagle turns its intense gaze [Fig. 318]."

Hey

Hey hey hey

Look at this fine ass I made

The theme was 'erotism of the body though the arts' and we had to have at least one hand that don't belong to the body. And there was no model this time so little extra difficulty :)
