The explanation must be less complicated : this woman has robbed something. She is sentenced to whipping nude in public. Her hair was cut for whipping.The caption under the image is "How the desires for freedom had been expelled". In the text is narrated the story of Lola Montez (originally Eliza Gilbert), an Irish actress and dancer who was a favorite of King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1846-1848. She was made Countess of Landsfeld and used her influence to institute liberal reforms. During the revolutionary situation in 1848 she was deprived of citizenship and expelled from Bavaria. Unfortunately there is nothing about any punishment. Perhaps this image does not correspond to the text.
