Interesting bit from Wikipedia:

A scene in the 1994 film Forrest Gump was inspired by the painting. When Jenny returns home, she throws herself on the ground and mirrors Olson's pose in reverse.

I remember the scene. Thanks for pointing out the connection. Makes a lot of sense at the time of her character arc.
