Abstract

The harlot is shown in her bedroom after she has lost the protection of the Jew. She is seated on the side of the bed, only partially dressed, waiting to be served breakfast by her slatternly attendant. A kitten plays at her feet as she swings a man's watch. In the background, a justice of the peace, his finger to his lips, creeps into the room with three atttendants, apparently unnoticed by the women
