I don't doubt that you would like to see that ;~D .. and since Galadriel is clearly a very buff body builder in that one painting, it does seem a shame that she is so draped and hidden by unnecessary clothing.

This conversation is inspiring me to think about posting some more "fine" art in the morning. Thomas Eakins did some very nice paintings of ladies that the Victorians found shocking but that would probably be edifying for our thread :-)

There's one in particular of the famous ship carver, William Rush (I think) carving a figurehead or something. But the real subject of the painting is the young lady being used as a model.

Have to go, will check back in later, hopefully.
