Thanks everyone #:)

lenity, I wonder, in the Mckean are they playing strip chess:?  Perhaps it would've been more PC to have the guy naked and the girl fully clothed in this day and age....well anyway, I prefer it the way it is.

Sculpture anyone?

Absolutely. I had the same discussion about the painting. The male is so complex. Facial features, layers of clothing, open gestures... but this woman is naked, hunched and no hint of a face. It makes me curious why he painted it this way.

But I'm still a fan of his work regardless. lol
