Availability & Price
Definitely a talking point!
Pin badge with a detail of Bernardo Strozzi's painting (around 1635) of the baroque composer Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677 in Venice). The detail shows the musician's cleavage, with a censor bar covering the part that shows her bare breasts.

Why censor her charms, you ask? Imagine if there was only one portrait of Goethe that showed him with his shirt half open, a lascivious expression on his face, his upper body exposed and a sculpted sixpack. Right, you got it …
