      To loose a dog, to be overweight, to see a relationship end are sad but normal things. Poverty isn’t.

              The character is the only one with sunken cheeks; and thinness is a stereotype of poverty; the walls reveal bricks in places, so the house is not properly maintained, another stereotype; the tablecloth follows a fashion, the Vichy, dating from the 30s and associated with the elderly, and the fact of using old and/or outdated clothes/furniture/decor is yet another stereotype. For an image that has few details, that’s a lot.
