The Painter and His Model is an operetta by an unknown author.

Not to be confused with the art work The Painter and His Model by Henri Matisse (painted late 1916, early 1917) or the 1928 Cubist work of the same name by Pablo Picasso.

Nothing is currently know of either the work or of the author, except the form ("operatta") and the fact that was presumably written and composed in the 1860s.
