    This pic is ripe for a Terry Gilliam animation.

    If there were more female painters at the time, what would they have painted?

    I’m still breast feeding, but nowadays they’re dry runs (mostly).

    Seeing a lady’s ankle was lascivious in those days. Boobs were “artistic” only in the proper setting. You can tell this by the fact that the nipple is sooo detailed.

    Click-to-enlarge image can be found here, or at the only work by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.

    Family Portrait is shown in its current-location page (the Google translated German page has an accompanying artist bio, but with really odd wording in the last sentence — not currently considered unquestionably regarded as the most original representatives of his profession??). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection.

    The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.

    @J. Short

    Regarding what the left hand is doing – he asks, “Your aren’t recording this, are you?”
