Un rat dans un fromage

Gavarni, Paul, 1804-1866 · January 3, 1839

A woman in a dressing-gown, seated on a sofa, thrusts her hand into a large bag full of crowns, placed before her on a table; she has a right elbow on the shoulder of a man, also in a dressing gown, wallowing on the pillows of the sofa and on the knees of his mistress, a glass of champagne in his hand. On the table a wallet, keys and papers on which one reads, writes directly: "Transport. - Donation - entre - vifs, Hy(po)thèq(ues)."
