About On the Brink
On the Brink is an 1864 genre painting by the British artist Alfred Elmore. It features a mid-Victorian era casino where a young woman appears to be considering taking up a form of prostitution to either pay her debts or continue her gambling addiction. The symbolism is enhanced by the torn playing card on the floor.
