  • Prompt: The heroine of Ivan Kramskoy’s painting “The Unknown” was interpreted by many contemporaries as a courtesan - for example, the famous expression of the critic Vladimir Stasov “a cocotte in a carriage” is known. Later, the audience stopped reading both the language of the costume (fashionable, not accepted among aristocrats) and the surroundings (an open carriage, an empty seat nearby). In addition, after the publication of Blok’s poem “The Stranger” (1907), two images were combined in the public’s imagination (Blok’s description includes satin fabric, an ostrich feather, and a narrow hand), and the lady began to be perceived as mysterious and sophisticated. Although in reality Blok’s stranger is also not a noble lady at all, but a prostitute.
