I am tired of this raw barbarism against women and human beings in general, with victims depicted in a nearly voluptuous posing far from how they probably would represent it themselves, so I’m gonna rename this statue as: The Picnic with Polyxena (detail), by Pio FRIENDLY, 1855-1865. Thank you for your understanding and good night. Credits in the tags.
