I just found that here: http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?entry=212379
It´s a page where many well-known people are painted in some strange paintings.

I don´t get it! For my taste, it is not very beautiful... And in case of Vee´s picture it is so unreal, look at that fat stomach!

What do you guys say?

Most paintings of the era depicted beautiful women as volouptous (spelling). Seen the mona lisa?

i think that we're seeing Venus in her late 30s
