Ask the imaginary person in your brain who's making that point.
Anyways, media wasn't prominent enough in Wollenstonecraft's time for exclusively sexualized representation in media to be on her mind imo. That said, she did view being defined by beauty as inherently restrictive, but I'm not sure if that was the intent here. The artist did it to represent femininity, they did so in a way that's far from the unrealistic standards of barbie dolls (unless they're much more toned down over in the UK), and it could've been done better but to me this just reeks of manufactroversy.
