Charles Sims (1873-1928) - A Fairy's Wooing (1898) color recombination
Either this guy's really flexible or he's going to have one heck of a backache once he's done. This is about as risque as Victorian paintings get, redeemed from the charge of pornography only by the fact that the fairy guy is somehow (and for some reason) keeping his butt in the air so the couple aren't yet coupling.
The myriad small details in this painting made recolouring it especially difficult because matching the geometry of the black and white and colour versions took so much trial and error. It's still not a precise match, but I think it works well enough.
