#Bouguereau was not as obsessed with sex as some of his contemporaries thought he was, but neither was he a prude, and he was not above an occasional visual double entendre. The title of this painting may also be the first use of the word #thirst in the 21st-century metaphorical sense — as in "thirst trap".
