Not particularly worried about the moral component of his behavior, not limited to any framework, Lautrec for several days “stuck” in brothels, not only indulging in carnal pleasures, but also fixing the smallest details of the life and life of its inhabitants.
Here he is his own, no different from the vicious maidens, the same cripple, but only with physical disabilities.
The work “Two girls in bed” is one of the pictures that convey the scene from the “non-working” time of prostitutes. It is clear that these are vicious relations that are not normal to the human nature, but they may be more sincere, at least, at least free ones.
Lautrec in no way created a chronicle of prostitution, did not idealize free love, so he painted the life of these women outside the “working” environment, emphasizing that they are, above all, people.
