She is inside. Any taxi driving through her place would have to be driven through the building to reach her. Maybe they did, after seeing a glimpse of her through the window. This is how femme fatales get fatally injured by exploding chunks of walls or glass. Is that the shadow of the approaching taxi appearing at the bottom left of the painting?
