As in the painting “Awakened Shame” by Hunt, the room is filled with symbolic signs hinting at the position of the girl. Cracked window glass, torn curtains and a shabby table speak of poverty and exploitation, on which the owner’s miserable possessions are exposed: scissors, Indian rosary, hairpin scarves.
A few coins on the table are probably her ridiculous fee from a client who is already about to leave. For the mirror frame, in which the worn paisley shawl hanging on the bed is reflected, the opened letter is thrust – it is likely that the mental state of the girl is caused by them.
