It seems relivent to connect this to the Avant-garde movement as well as it was such a debated piece. Any complaints? --Toric
High class prostitute?
The article says she is a high class prostitute, but is that so? Many believe her to be for and of the lower class. See for example Eisenman's 19th Century Art (London, Thames & Hudson, 2002. Page 287).
- I suppose many courtesans were of lower-class extraction, but the surroundings, the oriental shawl, pearl earrings, orchid etc. all denote luxury. This, and the fact that she has a maid, is consistent with her status of high class prostitute. Karl Stas 20:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
