Awakened Shame by William Hunt

Awakened Shame by William Hunt

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.
