Gustav Klimt - Allegory of Sculpture, 1889. Watercolour and pencil heightened with gold on paper 

My friend Ginia is doing art history at Williams, and told me that one of her professors used to work at a museum that had a bunch of Klimt sketches of women masturbating. Old ladies used to ask to draw them all the time, and they would initially act horrified—and then would disappear for hours to copy them anyway.
