That's certainly one possible interpretation!

Note the relationship of the two women in the upper quadrant and the placement of the woman with hat in the lower, forcing the eye to look down focusing attention on the hat. Yet the two women have expressions of incredulity, and we can see them as a center of attention as well. Note how the artist has managed to convey a sense of the women's feelings in the expressions on the various faces.

 

 

 

Would you like to:

Consider the "center of attention?"

Consider an alternative interpretation?
