This oil painting considered by reviewers to be the predecessor of "Les demoiselles D'Avignon". The Herculean man drinks from the wine jug and looks at the woman, which is the subject of the picture. An old woman appears in the background representing "
La Celesina". Central women, combing their hair, dancing or washing themselves are the main point of interest for the other two characters. In "Les demoiselles D’Avignon this role is given to the onlooker.
