Descripción

This painting is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). The subject of this work has been reproduced five times. The image was originally conceived as a scene in a brothel, with seven characters, a medical student, a sailor and five women. The latter remained as the only witnesses of its original conception, together with a table with slices of watermelon and wine, placed in the centre of the composition. The male characters disappeared. The brothel was located in Barcelona, ​​on Avignon Street, and not in the French city of the same name.
