Walks up to the Bed
All Resolutions
An officer ushered in by love
Walks stealthily up to her bed.
Description:
A man in eighteenth-century uniform tip-toes to a bed in which a woman lies sleeping.
This illustration features at the beginning of the tale “L’aveu naïf” (The naive confession).
The caption reads in the original French:
Un officier, par l’amour introduit,
À pas de loup s’approche de son lit.
