Except standards of beauty change... When this was painted, it was still fairly common that it was usually rich people that had this level of food availability and the plumper the woman, the richer, and they were also considered more motherly and marriageable and shit, so were valued more when it came to mating decisions.

I'm not talking about the 300lb Landwhales now, or the ones in the circus then. Talking they were pushing 170 'fat'.

C'est la vie.
