Description
In the image there is a young woman in the center, a man looking at her from her side holding a bag with what is probably money inside and an old woman on the right with her head covered. The old woman whispers something to the young woman as she holds her hand. The image represents the typical scene of prostitute, client and procuress by the three figures.
