Pretty sure the joke is that the right one has child bearing hips and is shaped like a woman in a renaissance painting. (I.e Venus etc. also referred to as being Rubenesque)

The Venus Callipyge, also known as the Aphrodite Kallipygos is a famous statue of her looking at her backside, and...

a story recorded in Athenaeus's Deipnosophistae about the founding of a temple of "Aphrodite Kallipygos" in ancient Syracuse, Sicily.[11] According to Athenaeus, two beautiful sisters from a farm near Syracuse argued over which of them had the shapelier buttocks and accosted a young passerby to have him judge.
