Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe (Luncheon on the grass)

Edouard Manet painted this song through an oil on canvas medium in 1863 and it can be found in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. The artist based all the characters on real people, but what is interesting and clearly controversial in this picture is how the artist dressed up the male characters very corporately but leaves the women completely naked. I find this a tad bit  disrespectful too.
