BRUNE AUX SEINS NUS(1872) BY ÉDUARD MANET(1832-1883) 3

She reminds us of Goya's women;
this is a woman who is not made
vulnerable when her breasts
are bared, to be admired
or gawked at will at by any
male observer.

No, our watching eyes are instead
drawn to her sensual face,
making us feel we should be
asking from her, with a slightly
trembling voice, a permission
to gaze at her wonderful mounds,

and be prepared to be denied
with a dismissive
wave of hand.
