- Abstract
-
An attractive young woman with a wreath of roses in her hair sits on the lap of an older man who fondles her breast, the word "feeling" inscribed over his head. They are seated in an armchair before blazing fire; at their feet on the floor, a violin, a sheet of music, and a wine glass and carafe. Four other, elderly men participate in the scene of seduction, each representing one of the other five senses, the words "smelling", "seeing", "hearing", and "tasting" inscribed above their heads. Starting at the top and reading clockwise, from behind a large screen a man with a large nose sniffs the woman's head; a man with an eyeglass grins at the pair; a man with an ear trumpet leans from the side; kneeling beside the chair the last licks the woman's hand. On the mantel a clock shows the lateness of the hour
