This image of a Parisian streetwalker is unique in Zorn’s work. Unsteady on her feet, she clings to a convenient tree for support, her expression a mixture of seduction and disgust. She is an impressive figure on the boulevards of nocturnal Paris, recognizable as a prostitute to contemporaries. Zorn monumentalized the woman by placing her frontally in full figure in the foreground, and by choosing a vertical format as well as a low viewpoint.
