Abstract: Following the seduction, the young man pulls up his breeches while the young woman clings to his arm with an adoring, pleading look on her face. On the wall are two pictures one entitled "Before" and the other "After"; in the first Cupid is lighting a firework, in the second he is pointing to a spent firework. The dresser is turned over, the mirror and chamber pot broken; the curtain rod around the bed has been pulled down. The dog is curled asleep under the chair on which her corset sits. The woman's head is framed by the shell on the head
