This young woman, completely naked and exposed for all to see, assertively looks out at the onlooker with an almost defiant expression that caused a scandal in its time.
A servant stares at the young woman suggestively, bringing her a bouquet—perhaps a gift from an admirer, or even a client.
The little cat with a green sharp glance, a perked tail, is often perceived as an erotic allusion that reinforces the licentious atmosphere of the scene.
