My sleeping is still irregular, and I fell asleep at mid- evening. I have to run a fund raiser that requires me to be at the high school in about an hour (it is a little after 6:30 here), so when I got up, I stayed up.

You are quite right, there is something perverse about her lone nudity. But the main thing was that it was not mythological, but realistic. I saw it in New York, at the Met, during the "Origins of Impressionism" show, and then again at the Musee d'Orsay. This reproduction does not do it justice.

I am not sure there is a definitive story, but I suppose she is a model.

As it happens, I just finished listening to Mel Torme singing "Lullaby of Birdland".......
