Artist and Model in the Studio[1] is a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, first published in The Painter's Manual in 1525. The woodcut is said to portray the dominance of the male gaze in Western visual culture, illustrating the consequences of mechanizing the relationship between the viewer and the viewed.

In 1993 French photographic artist Dany Leriche appropriated Dürer's original image as Hanneke et Elise [2], known as a feminist-inspired rejection of the male gaze. The image is part of a diptych - the second part is a photograph of the model taken through the grid from the point of view of the observer.
