Little known fact the painting was originally covered up because of a dmca takedown notice from the Guild of Spice Merchants, who held the copyright on naked cherubs.

Looks like the lick of artistic varnish only heightens the sheeps sheepish look of surprise upon seeing the veneer stripped away from Verneers chubby cherubic penis.
btw is the word chubby derived from cherub?
Not by a log shot. The biblical cherubs were freaky looking. The “cherubs” in Renaissance art and later are really “Putti”
As best as I can determine the word chubby derives from “resembling a chub” which is a type of fish

[Edited to say that was a genuine thanks and not snark]

Artists and illustrators are inventive. I’ve used myself as reference for men, women, children, gods, dogs, furniture…
