Born in 1827 William Holman Hunt was an American painter. He was known to display great detail in his works. Hunt's paintings were said to be influenced by the writings of John Ruskin and Thomas Carlyle, making hunts pieces flow with elaborate symbolism; writings include "The Sewn Lamps of Architecture" (Ruskin) and "Sartor Resartus" (Carlyle).

Although this piece doesn't seem to have any intertextual references it does hold great meaning. This painting could show the generality of prostitution in the Victorian society at the time, as it can be seen; the woman sits in what can be assumed to be her lovers lap. Indisposed, and without a wedding ring, the audience can assume that what is happening in this painting isn't "Ladylike" for this time period. This piece could also be seen and interpreted as a seemingly act of 'Sexual deviance'.

I can only assume that not many were too about this piece, some could think that it shows acts of 'impurity'. I could see many people of this time (1853) seeing this painting and deeming it as inappropriate.
