William Rothenstein trained at the Slade School of Art in 1888 under the Professor of Drawing, Alphonse Legros. Legros enforced upon his students the importance of drawing from the life model, a French practice rarely used in British art schools at the time, and encouraged Rothenstein to go to Paris where he attended the Académie Julian from 1889 to 1893. Of the Slade, Rothenstein said they 'did draw, at a time when everywhere else in England students were rubbing and tickling their paper with stump, chalk, charcoal and Indian rubber. Legros himself was first and foremost a great draughtsman. He was a disciple of Montegra, Raphael and Rembrandt, of Ingres and Delacroix, of Poussin and Claude. He taught us to draw freely with the point, to build up our drawings by observing the broad planes of the model.
