Description

The images show a young couple on a bed lying down and kissing while a woman in the center of the image with her head covered looks at the viewer while holding flowers. From the title of the paintings it is understood that the couple represent the client and the prostitute and the woman represents the young woman's procuress. There are other versions of this painting and both images look like two of these versions.
