Unidentified. It has been suggested that this was a model nicknamed 'Tootsie' (name unknown) (fl. 1900) and that she may have been Carmen Rossi (fl. 1880/1901). 1 'Tootsie' was so named by Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) on a watercolour, The Pink Cap [M.1308], and on an impression of the lithograph Draped Figure, Standing c046. However, this is not certain, as the model (as seen in the lithograph) appears to have a rounder face, different from a technically similar drawing, Modèle nu, debout, passant une robe [M.1306].
