The original title of this work, ‘A Mans View of Heaven’. Julius LeBlanc Stewart had recently embraced ‘The Second Great Awakening’ of the Protestant reformation. It led to great antebellum social reform and emphasis on salvation by institutions. This painting hung in the Vestry of his local church until it was determined that the two ladies involved were the minister’s wife and her sister.
We have the painting, “The Glade” by Stewart hanging at the Detroit Institute of Arts. I’ve described it as “18th century porn” because works like these were usually painted for wealthy young men to hang in their libraries. I also describe it as “The first thing a new wife would send to the dustbin or the attic after that young man got married.”

The Description link shows it with the correct orientation, with the artist’s signature at the bottom left. This has the artist’s signature at the bottom right, backwards. Unfortunately, this orientation is by far the more popular on the internet for this painting.

The dogs sniff out the men, then the naked women lure them nearer. The men never catch on to the spear.

“Who let the dogs out ?” They inquired,
Twas two women , quite lightly attired.
Though the dogs were delighted,
The painter who sighted
The event, was downright inspired.
He took to his easel forthwith
To depict the event with great pith…
When the work was displayed
The artist, dismayed,
Found himself thought depicting a myth..
And the ladies providing the show
Swore it hadn’t been they, although
A small fleck of dog poo
Clung accusingly to
The tip of her dainty great toe…

That spear is too big for rabbits. It would work for deer, but an atlatl would give her more range.

There are rumors abroad in the land
Of a small, naked female bandOf spear-bearing dryadsWho travel in triads
And seem to have time on their hands…///
They’re leading a pack of hounds
And making their afternoon rounds
In a small, local wood
Where the viewing is good
If you hide and you don’t make a sound..///
But you really must be discrete
For they entertain the conceit
That their dogs leave no trace
Of poop anyplace
So, whatever you do, watch your feet …
