It really depends on your potential houseguests — I don’t think it’s particularly clear-cut, so Idk if anyone on Reddit can give you an answer that’s very tailored to your social circle. I personally wouldn’t mind having a painting with bare breasts in my living room *in general*, although this painting in particular has a complex social history. IMO, the ambiguity around the original context and reception of the painting are more provocative than the existence of nudity by itself (but not necessarily in a “don’t display it” kind of way, just that it might start coffee table conversations):
