 One of the seated male figures is holding a print with a scantily-clad dancer while the other man sitting next to him looks at the young woman in the center of the painting instead, indicating that the male gaze is sexual in nature and that in the urban landscape where women walk freely, they are still sexualized by the gazes of the men on the streets who can see them.Cherry claims that "the gaze of the male customers - which possesses space and simultaneously captures image and body - signifies the hazards of sexual harassment for a respectable working woman in the highly charged and ambivalent spaces of modem London.And it returns us to the mutuality of bodies and space, ocularity and corporeality."
