Three Prostitutes On The Street
Year: 1925
Description:
Three women ply their trade on the streets of post-War Berlin. Two are ladies of evening in search of customers. A third walks by with her nose in the air. She is married into money and enjoys the trappings of wealth.
The third "prostitute" carries a dog, a toy dog. It is a prop that points to her as a kept woman or, if you will, "a play thing."
The sex workers are depicted with a high level of self-confidence. They are forthright with regard to their profession while the woman with her nose aloft is less honest about hers....
