We were looking for a contemporary photograph of a Danish lovely to contrast with our Hammershøi painting and was contemplating featuring our favourite Dane, Helena Christensen. Agent DVD, over dinner last night, discouraged this (he is not a fan) and so instead we have found this rather nice photograph of Danish model Elsa Sorensen.
Perhaps surprisingly, this photograph was taken over fifty years ago. Miss Sorensen was Playboy's Playmate of the Month for September 1956 and was, in fact, the first non-American Playmate. Very contmporary she looks too and we are sure Hammershøi would have approved of the stark background if not the rather ornate (but effective) pose.

It shows a woman with a large stomach that overhangs but does not hide her pubic area. A roll of fat extends around her middle, joining with large but rather flat buttocks, there's no face and seems that at this place there is a hat or even hair rolled up o n the head. Her genital area would appear to have been deliberately emphasized with the labia of the vulva carefully detailed and made clearly visible, perhaps unnaturally so, and as if she had no pubic hair. This, combined with her large breasts and the roundness of her stomach, suggests that the "subject" of the sculpture is female procreativity and nurture and the piece has long been identified as some sort of fertility idol. The fact that numerous examples like that of a female figure. All generally exhibiting the same essential characteristics - large stomachs and breasts, featureless faces, minuscule or missing feet - have been found over a broad geographical area ranging from France to Siberia. That suggests that some system of shared understanding and perception of a particular type of woman existed during
