How does this artwork elucidate its Related works?
Krohg had created several earlier paintings based on the fate of the unmarried seamstress "Albertine", who is eventually forced into prostitution by the social system of the time. Other related paintings are Daggry from 1880 (at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen), Sypiken from 1881 (at Göteborgs Konstmuseum), and Trett from 1885 (at the National Gallery in Oslo). He explored the same subject in his novel Albertine, written in 1886. The debate following the publishing and confiscation of the novel expedited the abolition of public prostitution in Norway.
