Eroticism

It seems weird to me that no one has used this as an example of, or even remarked upon its status as, intensely erotic art for the period. If you don't get it, look at this in thumbnail size. If you still don't get it, squint. It's a really, really blatant visual reference to fellatio. The break the in headboard is clearly intentional where her mouth "incidentally" is. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 11:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
