(im busy with college so all i can do is spew out stupid ideas)

So imagine 18th-century New York, home to a loving family with two daughters, one born by a mistress, the other not. Now, these people weren't wealthy, but they had a lot of money, and to keep it going, they had to marry off their illegitimate eldest daughter, because why not? And who would want to marry someone born without a title to their name? But of course, someone without a title, specifically a painter.

a painter who has visited the house at least twice to create the family portrait; despite his status as an apprentice, the eldest daughter's stern yet round features were enough to attract his attention.

"Not very good," Francis said as he dramatically looked away. He decided he was gonna be an emo, little bitch that day. Aesthetically, of course.

Evening Mood (William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1882)

In an article for Spatial Vision, Baingio Pinna praises Bouguereau's technical skill, writing:

The female sensuality is mainly due to the realistic representation of the young woman and to the enveloping transparent veil moving slowly all around her body and, at a more primary phenomenal level, also to the sinusoid wavy lines that seem to dance synergistically and harmonically through their good continuation.
