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.

Completely unrelated but it made me think of it so now you all have to hear it.

I've always loved how most women do everything they can to not let people see their boobs but then they have a kid and literally could not care less.

It's absolutely hilarious to me and I don't even know why.

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.

Lovely look they share, explains a lot with just that.

Impressive! I know it was considered low-class to breast feed your own child at this time; entirely possible she’s also making a statement about that as well.

Absolute bang-up lass!

I have absolutely no problem with public breastfeeding, let me say first, but I'm never not automatically surprised when I see someone with full boob out feeding baby. Like it just always surprises me every time. It's just so random somehow.

Now this sort of thing is precisely what I've always thought about when the term "Rococo" gets bandied about.
