Goya's "La Maja desnuda" and "La Maja vestida". In 19th-century Europe, it was common to have two paintings of the same subject for the same place on the wall. Depending on which guests were visiting, one or the other was shown.

artistically i prefer the nude, but the breasts are so unbelievably BIZARRE on both...

Hm, yeah, the breasts are like a not-completely-successful boob job, now you mention it. Which of course it isn't. But I like the overall result, especially the nude.
