Note: A difficult to interpret allegoric representation of two sisters sharing a bath and intimacies. Perhaps the combination of nipple and ring are emblems to Gabrielle as a favorite mistress with love, gestation and impending birth of a child by the King Henry IV of France (a boy that became Cesar de Vendome) - then such an event was not unusual for an attractive woman to experience as ostentatiously pointed out here by the fingers of her sister. It is unusual that such a provocative painting survived the potential attacks of sanctimonious hypocrits. ( Back to Illustrated Theme) |
