Titian's Venus of Urbino, Harunobu's Two Courtesans, Inside and Outside the Display Window, and Manet's The Gare Saint-Lazare are connected by a common subject: the duality of women's identity split between private and public spheres
Which details reinforce that theme in these works?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. A dividing line between inner and outer world separates the women in each scene: the curtain in Titian, the window in Harunobu, and rail fence in Manet.
2. Female figures are turned toward (the private world) and away (toward the public) from the picture plane in each scene.
3. Each scene incorporates near distance details (private world) and glimpses of the far distance (public) to define women's multiple spheres.
