Adoradora remarks on an idling beauty, estranged from the bar that is left unseen. Though the setting is elusive to a superficial glance, Barnabette offers an engaging sense of context for lasting observers. This premise of concealment is paralelled in the character herself, whose value is perhaps disguised by social divide - yet revealed to those who would pay attention. Uses of colour and composition describe the bar profusely, albeit indirectly; and we can almost hear the roars of a surrounding crowd and maybe a big band.
