There are multiple images of Vermeer’s work ‘The Procuress’, which depicts a man handing a smiling woman a coin while placing his hand over her clothed breast; an art critic tells us that the coin indicates that this is a ‘particular kind of love’. A critic’s analysis of another work contains a humorous reference to ‘getting a leg over’.
additional issues
An art critic discreetly implies within her analysis of the work ‘The Glass of Wine’ that the male subject is attempting to get the female subject drunk in order to take advantage of her, adding, “She thinks she’s in control but she’s not”. Other works feature very mild bloody detail, such as a woman wringing out a bloody sponge and a dead snake in a small puddle of blood, but the images are not gory or upsetting. There is also brief sight of natural nudity in the background of other paintings. Bad language is infrequent and very mild (e.g. ‘hell’).
