Original – A Session of the Painting Jury (1885) by Henri Gervex; This shows a meeting of the Paris Salon in 1883 in which several identifiable artists are voting on which pictures should be exhibited. This picture itself was exhibited in the Salon in 1885 and was subsequently acquired by Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau, who later became the Prime Minister of France, before it was gifted by him to the state.

  • Support – interesting painting; good EV from the article. Looks as if the painting of the nude they're voting for was popular. SagaciousPhil - Chat 18:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply
