Whipped By A Lecher
My first thought on seeing this horrified woman shrinking away from the enormous hands of the leering man who has her tied over a bolster of burlap and straw in some filthy corner and is prepared to whip her if she doesn’t submit to his no-doubt-foul lechery? The mismatch between the size of his hands and her bottom made me misread the situation, before I saw her very adult curves and realized that he was drawn with exaggerated size and features to emphasize his monstrousness and her fear.
The artist is Jean Morisot (whose work we have previously seen here).
