J'ay une grande faim de vous revoir et de tout voir.
Escobard inv. J.B. Girard.Sc
[n.d., c.1770.]
Etching, sheet 255 x 180mm. 10 x 7". Trimmed to plate and glued to album page. Four worm holes.
A French cleric inside a church apparently seducing a young woman in a confessional. Rather than merely a satirical comment on morality in the French church, this seems to be a representation of Father Girard, a Jesuit priest, and Charlotte Cadiere, who were involved in a scandalous liason around 1730.
