George Bataille theorized that this artwork is about the loss of narrative, which is effective since its source of power is a "feeling of suppression [that] prevails." Yasumasa Morimura quoted the pose of this painting in his photograph Portraits (Twins). An anonymous review calls this painting's subject a "grotesque in Indian rubber," while another review, which appeared in Le Monde Illustre, expresses disgust at the subject's "greenish, bloodshot eyes." This painting was first exhibited in "Room M" immediately below its artist's other painting, Jesus Mocked by the Soldiers. Its title figure wears an orchid on her head, a gold bracelet with a black tassel, and has a black ribbon tied around her neck. In this painting, a black cat on the right leaves its muddy footprints on a bed, and a black servant holding flowers stands behind a nude Victorine Meurent, who suggestively gazes at the viewer. For 10 points, name this scandalous painting depicting a prostitute by Edouard Manet.
