  2. Doesn't she? I love that, too. It's the reason I chose the painting.

  6. Well, we're pretty corpulent these days, too! Actually, I love the way she's buxom but fairly slim-hipped. That's not a body type you see often in the porn of the 16th century.

    I think those white doves wandered in from another painting, Dawn.
