with love, squeeze a nipple

Sun’s out and tits out!
It’s the last month of summer. Let’s soak it all in and enjoy life!

Painted by an unknown artist in 1594, the question is, why?
What could possibly be the meaning of this painting and why is she squeezing the other womans nipple? And why does she look like she is used to it by now? What’s the meaning of her holding her ring like that? Is it a symbol of her removing it to engage in some sapphic loving? And who is that just chilling in the background? Is it all for show? And they look a like. Are they.. Sisters? Yes. Yes they are.
