This afternoon.
At the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin
Tourist Natalia Puchalska viewing the stain glass window entitled Scandalous by artist Harry Clarke acquired by Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and featuring an exposed breast.
The work depicts a scene from Liam O’ Flaherty‘s novel ‘Mr Gilhooley’ – created for the Geneva Window of the League of Nations building in Geneva but deemed too risque by the Government of the day (1920s).

Okay, will give you the gist
She danced before him allowing glimpses of her clean shaven vulva that was succulently ripe and eager to be pleased
When is the iPhone 6 jailbreak out?

OK, I’ve clicked on all the links and what not and I still don’t know… where’s the panel been all this time?
It’s a beautiful piece
It was sent into puritanical exile by the Irish state in the 1920 ees
Only came home under darkness very recently
You can view it in the Hugh Lane
But if you enjoy romantic erotica take a look at ;;The Eve of St Agnes
It is just to the right of it—but please read the poem by John Keats–to make any sense of it
