The article as it stands comes to some wild conjectures that don't seem to be backed up by cursory views of the painting. What evidence is there for these claims? Also, the image viewed in the context of our time is quite scandalous, implying not only lesbian or bisexual sexuality, but incest. How was the painting viewed by contemporaries? Would the "nipple pinch" have implied the same things then as now? I'd be curious to find out how much the "meaning" of this piece has drifted from its original significance.
