L'Aveugle
Le Villain, G. R. (Gérard René), approximately 1740-1836 · [ca. 1750–1920]
Small child stands next to a seated man in a long robe with wooden clogs on. He holds a sign that sais "Pauvre Aveugle", or "Poor Blind Man". At left a matronly woman in fancy hat and long black dress approaches. Text reads: "Tu vas demander a cette vieille dame en robe noire, et en avant le Cantique des Lepreux,... chaud... chaud." Rough translation from French: "You're going to ask the old lady in black dress, and before the Song of Leper, ... Hot ... hot."
