Malaysian artist Elizabeth Tan shares a passion for the arts, and visiting Italy to see iconic landmarks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the statue of David was on her bucket list.

On November 16, she fulfilled this aspiration and commemorated the experience by sharing pictures on Instagram. As mentioned earlier, the statue of David is unclothed, displaying its genitals. After Elizabeth posted a photo with the 17-foot sculpture, numerous netizens promptly commented.
