From the Youths Companion
The German artist. Adolf Menzel. is a
great favoritc and his vagaries afford
endless amusement to the Berlin art fra
ternity
1t seems that Mcneil was engaged on a
mural decoration. He had rugged up scat
folding IN his studio. which his model
was requested to stand For two long
hours the poor "poseur" stood up aloft in a
most fd,iguing posture. Mcneil. mean
while. worked at his sketch, needless of the
fact that his model was growing tired
AT length the model found 1t necessary to
speak.
Herr Professor said he, how about a
recess
Mcneil apologized profusely for his for
gsifulness.
Certainly. certainly. my dear sir" said
he. Come down and rest yourself a bit"
The model had clambered from the scat
folding to the ladder which led down from
It to the studio floor.
Stop, cried the artist, suddenly. That
pose Is fine, Don't move a muscle."
And once more the model was forced into
strained rgidity. while the enthusiastic
draughtsman set about sketching him.
AT the end OF half an hour Mcneil looked
up from his work.
There" said he. that will do nicely.
Get back on the scanold. We have had our
rest. Let us get back TO work again"
