The images in the top left corner show various versions of the 1863 painting Dejeuner sur l'herbe or the Picnic by the artist Edouard Manet. The original, currently on display in the Musee d'Orsay of Paris, depicts a group of people enjoying a picnic. The nudity of the women in the picture was quite controversial at the time of painting as they appear to be modern Parisians in a contemporary setting with two clothed men.
