And it's from the early 1900s?  It seems to
me that society has a statute of limitations
on that sort of thing.  No artwork more than
fifty years old is offensive.  Marilyn Monroe's
famous nude calendar is as much an inoffensive
icon as the Venus de Milo.  The technology 
behind the art changes, and people's way of
looking at the human body changes, to the
point where the buzz from the old art is 
silenced by the cultural distance.  

I'd be surprised if anyone took offense.
That said, there are surprising people in
the world and if anyone does take offense,
you mustn't argue.  You must comply with any
and all requests to desexualize the work
atmosphere.
