The harlot's influence was extensive. Her influence over the kings of the earth, she holds sway over a large portion of the earth’s population. The description of her as one “who sits on many waters” (Revelation 17:1<span>) is later explained: “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues” (verse 15). In verse 2 she is further described as making the inhabitants of the earth “drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

The plot starts with an injured Narrator and his servant (injuries and such aren't clearly explained) who come into an abandoned mansion for refuge. The narrator admires paintings in the place and reads a book he found on a pillow, which tells about the paintings. He sees another painting in the shifted candlelight which shows a girl who he mistakenly thought was a real person. When the narrator starts to read on the painting it tells of the Painter and his bride, the painter very passionate but occupied with only his work and the wife happy in everything but despises his art. The painter asks his wife to sit as a model for his new painting, she agrees. But as the painter grew more obsessed with finishing his painting he didn't notice his wife growing paler as it seems his painting grows more life like. In the end when the painter brushes the last strokes he finally notices his wife is dead and the painting so very lifelike. The tone of the story moves from creepy, uncertain, to haunting, mysterious.
