"This picture is made to appeal to his sexuality.
It has nothing to do with her sexuality. (Here and in the European tradition
generally, the convention of not painting the hair on a woman’s body helps
towards the same end. Hair is associated with sexual power, with passion. The
woman’s sexual power needs to be minimized so that the spectator may feel that
he has the monopoly of such passion.)”- John Berger, Ways of seeing
