A comment yesterday by kwardecke, ‘’It started as phallic portraiture, however it was deemed inadequate and the painting was cropped’’, somehow applies to this painting also.
After a rough day, Alice just wanted to take off her shoes and bra and have a glass of wine – so, of course, her boyfriend snaps her photo and posts it! (It got a lot of likes).
Reminds me of the one wedding I was at where the bride had a few too many after not eating all day, stood up at the reception while standing on her dress hem, promptly pulling her strapless top down (called a bodice, I think). Took her awhile to figure out just what had happened. Yep, good times.
Well, a brief attempt to get some history on this work netted only: 1) umpteen places offering to sell prints of it, and 2) that the artist’s works tended to feature 1/2 nude females. In this one, I see NOT some rich woman posing for her portrait, but what may instead be some poor girl posing because she needed money – or a taste of champagne.

You should have seen what she was doing after her third glass.

/// Look, The Girl with Champagne. Cheeks are flushed;
posture’s bad; hair has barely been brushed.
It seems clear that the lass
has had more than one glass,
and that, when she got dressed, she was rushed.
Say What Now‽ Premium Member about 2 years ago
Is her glass half full or half empty? Is she half dressed or half naked? She is obviously half in the bag though.
Charliegirl Premium Member about 2 years ago
She obviously had a very busy night.

Wedding toast? What wedding toast? Oh. OK, I see the glass now.

She certainly has an awkward grip on that glass. An image that raises many questions.

No, sweetheart, you’re supposed to get him drunk, so he doesn’t notice that you stuffed your bra with tube socks.

Marie always wanted to get married, so she picked the husband and now while intoxicated she knew she picked the wrong woman.

OfCourse she was no prize either, except for her great wealth.

Françoise, the flatulent floozy/
Passed a flatula that left her woozy/
So she opened her blouse/
To air out the house/
Whilst she sought brief relief with some “boozy”..///
Now a “blue nose” might look with disdain/
On her means of relieving her pain/
But the weather is lousy/
And she’s just looking frowzy/
Whilst she waits for the damn thing to wane..///
So after she’s cleared the air/
She will carefully neaten her hair/
And she’ll then pack away/
For the rest of the day/
Those objects that garnered your stare.
