Couple of characters in a bucolic garden, the young lady wearing art deco makeup in an 18th century costume seated at the foot of a column surmounted by a love, falsely frightened with bare chest, pushes back the soft ardor of a character all dressed in white. Garden background in grisalle. Signature at the top left at the base of the drawing this poem in a cartouche:
A court finger, beautiful Sylvie,
This cannot frighten!
Love itself invites us,
Cruel! Let touch you! !
(her) - The scalded cat fears cold water;
If I believed in this love,
You would show me stiff!
I'm afraid of your court finger! ! HL
This pretty subject had to be included in a naughty book.
