In the Draper´s Shop, Adriaen Bloem, Adriaen van Ostade
In the Draper'shop is a so called genre painting and is characterized as such by a narrative content of a typical moralizing meaning. In this case, an obvious analogy between the soft beautiful silk fabrics and the girl's smooth white skin, both the fabric and the girl are offered for sale to the wealthy middle-aged man. In the background an elderly woman is presented as a Procuress who also raises a warning finger. In her other hand there is a coin that alludes to the immorality of love bargain. The young girl's introspective passive attitude makes her a victim in an ongoing monetary transaction
