Pastel on paper laid down on canvas
Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (11 April 1749 – 24 April 1803), also known as Adélaïde Labille-Guiard des Vertus, was a French miniaturist and portrait painter. She was an advocate for women to receive the same opportunities as men to become great painters. Labille-Guiard was one of the first women to become a member of the Royal Academy, and was the first female artist to receive permission to set up a studio for her students at the Louvre.
Pregnancy and giving birth literally rewires women’s brains to care a lot about their children’s wellbeing. It’s a much stronger drive than their own wants.
I will say that men that have children are often the same way. I have 3 kids. I don’t care if someone sees me naked honesty.
That said, some women still do care, hence the nursing rooms at airports, etc.
Oh I understand the physiology and psychology behind it just always makes me chuckle when I think about it.
