Le masque a beau mentir, Diogène femelle, - On sait ce que promet ton manteau de satin, - Et quelle affaire ici te fait jusqu'au matin - En guise de lanterne allumer ta prunelle

Gavarni, Paul, 1804-1866 · March 31, 1847

Figure at mid-legs. At the opera ball, seated on a bench, a woman in a white domino, a mask on the face, blond hair falling in curls on both sides of her neck; she is seen 3/4, turned right, one arm leaning on the back of the bench, and holds a bouquet in front of her.
