Gotta get a kick out of this. While the expression doesnt reflect the original, the hand certainly does, and, I think, in this more modern context, it makes a fairly strong statement.

The tan lines also exaggerate the 80's Olympia's nakedness, as was Manet's Olympia's nakedness seemingly exaggerated.

I also notice that in this piece the maid is not only notably attractive but also regarding the viewer.
