"Woman with Dildo"[1] (c. 1525, 14.1 x 7 cm. Nationalmuseum, Stockholm) is an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi. It depicts a standing nymph using a dildo. At the Nationalmuseum, the print is known as "Kvinna med morot" which translates as "woman with carrot."
The 2008 exhibition Art and Love in Renaissance Italy censored this work. The image was scanned and finally released in the public domain for the Lust and Vice exhibition of 2011, held at the Nationalmuseum in Sweden.
In his 2006 Ph.D. dissertation Witches on Top, Guy Tal remarks:
- "The blatant representation of this act [masturbation] in Raimondi's Woman with a Dildo (Fig. 80) attests to the market's familiarity with such images and to spectators' attentiveness to decoding the act of self-sex in A Witch Riding on a Phallus."
