Painted shade- Should I seal it with a clear finish of some sort?

I just painted a linen shade with acrylic paint. Should I seal it with a clear finish of some sort?

Yes, to keep it protected
I probably wouldn't seal it so that the heat of the lightbulb can diffuse through the shade. I would like to say that the linen needs to breathe a bit but I don't have scientific proof.
I would not seal it.
If it's a lampshade I really do not think the fabric requires a sealant.
