Description: | image: The bedroom of a courtesan: she sits to the right by her bed, her dress hanging over the chair arm, and is about to
remove her chemise. Her head is turned over her shoulder to her client. He is an elderly bourgeois; standing in front of an elegant
settee he too undresses. His shirt collar is undone, as are his trousers which reveal a corset underneath. His braces dangle around his
rear; a watch fob and handkerchief hang from his right trousers pocket. He wears a pair of high-heeled button boots. In the centre
background there is a small occasional table upon which stand an oil lamp, a vase of flowers and a small spherical box. Behind this
ensemble on the wall hangs a round mirror in a decorative frame. At the extreme right of the composition a small toy dog with a bow collar
sits upright on the bed. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | interior women / womens work satirical civilian personnel Caricature | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Domergue, Georges | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
