Damn, a lot of these give off a suggestion if having zero muscle tone. Like they never even walked quickly.

It is possibly a true. Painters were a part of city class -  like merchants and bankers. Women of this class were rich enough to do nothing by themselves.  Woman with any muscle tone were considered hard-working,  therefore non-wealthy,  therefore no-dowry, therefore uninteresting for men. So,  city class women should be well-fed since childhood to find a good party. Look at daughter of Jacob Jordaens:

And this is Helen,  wife of Rubens, when she was 16:

I hope this tradition will inspire you on some wonderful stories.

Peter Paul "Fat chicks in painting" Rubens

 

If you see European Renaissance 1600-something painting in baroque style, with a flabby naked girls and muscled men, that must be Rubens or some of his students. He is a central person of Dutch golden age and also he had run a big and prosperous studio. So, if you will find somewhere else this works related to Hendrick van Balen,  Frans Snyders, Antoon van Dyck, just remember that they worked as one team.

So, P.P. Rubens part 1

Your bas-relief reminded me of the mermaids from the fence of the Annechkov Bridge in St. Petersburg.
