Question

While discussing this painting, Linda Nochlin's essay “Women, Art, and Power” ironically suggests that works like Pretty Girl by Hannah Höch can serve as a deconstructive “alternative” to an event involving it. The pose of this painting's central figure likely draws from a specially-ordered bronze copy of the Borghese Hermaphroditus. (15[1]-5[1])This painting spent many years in the Yorkshire estate of John Morritt after a shorter period in which it was hung between The Clothed Maja and The Nude Maja by (15[1])(*) Manuel de Godoy. Pink ribbons drape over the hands of a boy in this painting who holds up an object (-5[1])showing a blurry woman's face gazing at the viewer. The arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst prompted Mary Richardson to take a cleaver to, for 10 points, what only surviving female nude by Diego Velázquez, which shows a reclining Roman goddess and her reflection?
