[Image description: The painting, 'La Paix ramenant l’Abondance,' by painter Elizabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun, which depicts two women wearing extravagant fabrics gazing at one another. One woman shows an exposed breast, the other woman holds her. They pose together over an array of fruit. Superimposed over the painting is a tumblr text-post, edited blackout-poetry style to read, "Sooo u want women? interesting notion."]
