When he began to making advances, Charles was forced to flee so that Justine could be established as Maurice's mistress. When the marshal realised she was fickle, she was confined in a convent until she surrendered herself. Soon afterwards, in 1750, the marshal died and Favarts could resume their careers. This print was published two years later.
