Gérôme's Corinthia 2

Jean-Léon Gérôme - Corinthia (1903-04) 2 versionsYesterday I posted a graphic of the painted plaster model of Jean-Léon Gérôme's Corinthia (1903-04) which he completed just before he died. I thought you might like to compare it with a version made after his death (right). How do you prefer your courtesans: as hard-faced tarts painted with fashionable lipstick or as bronzed goddesses?
