Merry company[edit]

(
)

A party of fashionably dressed young people is interrupted by intruders with masks and a lighted torch suggesting that these revels take place during Carnival. Well-bred young ladies did not join parties in public inns; these smiling women are prostitutes

  • ... that art historians often find it difficult to judge whether 17th-century merry company paintings (example illustrated) show scenes of prostitution or not?

  • Hook relates to current refs 6-14; 6, 12 or 14 each ought to be enough on their own. Johnbod (talk) 10:28, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Length, date verified. Hook's offline ref accepted AGF by seasoned editor. All non-lede paragraphs have refs; all refs appear to be RL. No copyvio detected. Interesting hook; its length is fine. QPQ done. Image from commons. Comprehensive, well refed article; it is GTG. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:22, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
