Venus

A few days ago, my husband and I were talking about a certain Venus picture. And I realized that the typical Venus image (Boticelli Venus/Venus de Milo) is not how I behold her. They are beautiful - without doubt. But somehow they are too pure and beautiful and the lustfullness is missing.



The picture was inspired by a woodcut. Unfortunately I lost the artists name. Does anybody know which artist I´m talking about? Please let me know.
(I misplaced my black Pilot G-Tec-c4, so for a change the cross-hatching is done in green.)

Bram Stoker´s Dracula

"The fair girl went on her knees and bent over me, fairly gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal... I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there."

Bram Stoker, Chapter 3, Dracula

Cross-hatching like crazy!
