(details from "Gabrielle Estrees and her sister, the Duchesse de Villars") (see related A), 1594 Ecole de Fontainebleu Louvre Museum, Paris, France
A difficult to interpret allegoric representation of two sisters sharing a bath and intimacies. Perhaps the combination of nipple and ring are emblems to Gabrielle as a favorite mistress with love, gestation and impending birth of a child by the King Henry IV of France (a boy that became Cesar de Vendome) - then such an event was not unusual for an attractive woman to experience as ostentatiously pointed out here by the fingers of her sister.
It is unusual that such a provocative painting survived the potential attacks of sanctimonious hypocrites.
