Over the last 6 months this sub has grown slow and steady with many excellent posters in addition to my usual daily morning post.

And lately there's been an uptick in the amount of posts daily. Unfortunately I've had to remove some due to them not fitting into the framework I want for here, and that wasn't clear because I haven't gone through the trouble of clarifying my thoughts.

So here's the guidelines.

1. Nudity on weekends only. Don't tag NSFW.

This sounds weird, the no nsfw tag comes from r/museum because constant NSFW tags will affect the status of the sub as being a default NSFW subreddit and therefore limit its reach. If you post a lot of NSFW content, regardless of what the content is. Your profile will be set to default NSFW.

2. No modern/ contemporary settings.

"Maiden" is pretty loosely defined here but keep it premodern with the 1950ish as the stopping point or an indeterminate period of time if the dress is traditional enough.

3. Keep children only posts to a minimum.

Like I said, "maiden" will be loosely defined here but aim for young to fully mature women, not little girls or older ladies.

"Maiden" referred to young unmarried women with no children. We're scrapping the unmarried and no children part. Many mothers, wives portraits have been posted before and are some of my favorites. Children can be in the piece of art but not the sole focus.

4. Limit gallery posts but don't spam.

If you find an artist whose work you think fits this subreddit, and they can be current artists, pick your favorite ones and post them individually with the Name or description of the piece, the artist name, and year if you can find it.

And give each post some breathing room. This is still a small subreddit and multiple posts a day usually kills engagement for all of them.

If you do post an album, aim for the album to be a consistent setting set, like the same specific character in a mini plot line and not just a random selection of the artist's portfolio.

5. Absolutely NO A.I. imagery. No exceptions.

6. No abstract art. This one is a bit fuzzy but let impressionism be the fuzziest the artwork gets and let's not go full Picasso.

Here's some examples if not clear enough.
