Maria had an abnormally high arch on her right foot and what appeared to be seven fingers on her left hand, but she clearly had issues with putting her clothing on correctly so the artist hired her on the spot.
Before he sold his first painting, Andrew Wyeth had no travel budget, so he used to pose his models before landscape paintings he bought at garage sales.
From the studio’s state, she could see/ he could probably not pay her fee/ and the pose was bizarre/ (her strangest by far !)/ and the cold made her have to pee..
I can see the appeal of curling up on the floor in front of a roaring fire with a good book. But curling up next to a space heater with a mediocre painting? Not so much.
Space heater, space heater give me some heat,distract me please, from this weird creep.He said I would be famous if I gave him a chance.But should not an artist wear some pants?

The artist couldn’t afford the model’s fee, the oil and enough coal for the heater.

Mathilde knew how eccentric Henrique was … but considering how freezing cold his studio was, she was damn grateful he’d decided on this kinky pose.
