Description:

An actress wearing trousers and a lace collar is looking critically at her reflection in a mirror as a maid enters to bring her a saber, a small bunch of flowers, and a scented note. This illustration is from the series “Les actrices.”

The caption reads in the original French: Voilà Monsieur Granger qui apporte le bancal à Madame. Il y a aussi un chasseur qui apporte un bouquet et un billet : le bouquet ne sent rien, mais le billet sent bon.
