1. My dear NNadir!
Well, this is one very interesting painting...

One very nude female surrounded by 6 (I think) semi-nude males.

They are turned away from her...and they all have their arms above their heads, as though they're surrendering...

What's going on?

I am curious!

Thank you for posting this...

4. Why is her hair still in curlers?
Call me old fashioned, but I think models should finish getting ready before you paint them.
