The Whore Of Babylon Thomas Fisher 1804
What It May Depict
The general idea again is that this is a warning. However not just against the obvious sexual overtones of actual prostitution but the gratuitous of acts by groups of people; indeed as wide as cities or even entire empires. Under Protestantism Rome was considered thus. The abhorrence by God is laid out in the Bible: Revelation Ch17.
The subject is huge and paintings from the time abound as well as these days.
