Brothel Scene
Wallerant Vaillant (mentioned on object), 1658 - 1677
A spent young man lies in the lap of a prostitute, who has probably just indulged him. However, it would have been better had he not fallen asleep afterwards. She easily picks his pockets, encouraged by the madam who has come to rake in the loot. The next gullible ‘victim’ has already taken his place on the bed, eagerly anticipating what is to come.
