Lang settled in New York in 1845, seven years after immigrating to Philadelphia from his native Germany. Here he presents a group of women in an unidentified studio space, industriously practicing the arts of painting, drawing, and sculpture. They appear amidst the varied essentials for training: books of prints, a palette and paints, plaster sculptures and architectural fragments, easels, and creative tools. By the late 1860s, educational opportunities for aspiring professional women artists had expanded; from private lessons with established artists to schools, notably the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, established in 1859, and the Ladies Art Association, started in 1867.
