That's a great picture, but there's something disturbing about it. I think
it's the nipples. They're so asymmetric that, together with the curves,
they give an almost ridiculously dynamic appearance. It's as if the statue
were made of wobbling Jell-o. Or as if the sculptor had been on drugs. Or
both.

Someone really needs to diddle in the missing bodyparts, though. I'd do it
myself, but that's a particular drawing style I've never really mastered.
Despite seeing it here nearly every day, it never ceases to amaze me that
someone can get organic shapes out of just slashes and parentheses.
