<p>This article examines conflicting constructions of the male model that emerged during the July Monarchy in the pedagogical drawings of the Ecole des Beaux Arts and in popular prints and caricatures. It argues that, during the 1830s, the rise of gene historique contributed to a stylistic shift within Ecole studies. As an emphasis on the generalised beau idéal gave way to particularised likenesses of individual models within Ecole studies, the artist-model transaction was transformed: what had been a sustained professional relationship became a brief commercial exchange. The model, formerly a contracted employee of the institution, became a contingent hourly worker. The change in his social status, in turn, gave rise to a new construction of the model as lazy and ineffectual in popular discourses of the 1840s. This stereotype rationalised the change of the artist-model transaction while simultaneously obscuring the aesthetic and social factors that had produced it.</p>
