As evidenced by the Description found here, the image of the painting shown here has been horizontally flipped (what's on the right here is on the left in the painting), as is incorrectly the case in most online images of it.
Info, or links that point to more info, about the teaching artist can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, perhaps in addition to what's in his Wikipedia page.

/// We young ladies, (each one of us gems),
meet each week on stone stairs to the Thames.
One by one, each girl poses,
holding specially-grown roses
which are bred for their extra-long stems.

/// It’s the age when Victoria reigned,
and the young lady shyly explained
