Rubenesque
Curvaceously full-figured
Rubenesque describes a woman's body as full-figured and voluptuous, with ample curves.
The word comes from Peter Paul Rubens, the Flemish painter whose works celebrated fleshy, rounded female forms.
The term is generally complimentary, suggesting sensual beauty rather than thinness: She had a Rubenesque figure that recalled an earlier era's ideals.
