In my book David's Dilemma, the main character David began his modeling career by posing as the famous David statue by Michelangelo, but does in fact wear a fig leaf. This little quirk is something that is in fact rooted in true historical fact, the cast of the statue of David when presented to Queen Victoria was provided with a fig leaf to save the blushes of the young women visiting the museum.
