Description
Français : Dans un salon de réception, une mère maquerelle, accompagnée d'une jeune prostitué, viennent accueillir un client dont l'apparence raffinée nous laisse penser qu'il s'agit d'un aristocrate. Une porte entrouverte mène à une chambre dont un second accès est emprunté par la belle. Le caractère intime de la pièce est suggéré par la présence d’un bidet près duquel se trouve une éponge et un clystère, des mules sur le sol et des vêtements suspendus. L’artiste nous suggère, par la présence d'une poche ouverte remplie d'argent, la fonction même de la mère maquerelle. Sa robe, dont la longueur laisse entrevoir ses chevilles, accentue le côté charnel, voire érotique, de la scène. L'artiste se plaît à jouer avec les contrastes car à coté de cette sensualité suggérée, il intègre des éléments triviaux, déjà évoqués, ainsi que cette chaise percée placée entre les deux femmes de manière indécente.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
