Self Portrait with a Model (1867). William Powell Frith (1819–1909).Frith was known for his crowd scenes.

His work was heavily criticized by the art establishment and considered “vulgar” with the artist accused of being more interested in subject than in painting, “devoted to telling stories on canvas….eminent among men who paint for those who like pictures without liking art.” -- source link
