What sets this picture apart is a life class at an Army school in Coblenz, the German city on the Rhine that served as American headquarters during the occupation after the 1918 armistice. Life classes, in which students sketch or paint a posed model, were a long-standing part of academic art training, so an army school offering one hints at instruction for soldiers stationed in the region. The title comes from caption cards written by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, and the record does not confirm the exact date.
