Venus of Kanagawa
Added 2018-04-28 18:00:31 +0000 UTCThis scene is from B5-Ch17/18, but it isn't really a spoiler.
Christy is working on a series of sculptures she calls Venus of Kanagawa. They'll be part of her portfolio review for her BFA.
If you're an art history geek (like me), you'll recognize a similar pose in several famous paintings: Giorgione's Sleeping Venus, Titian's Venus of Urbino, and Manet's Olympia.
But...! This pose is slightly different. And if you're a sculpture geek, you'll recognize Canova's Venus Victrix.
Anyway, that's your art history lesson for the day (week? month?).
Collectors, be sure to grab the HQ version, below.

Yeah, just a trick of perspective.
