- Abstract
-
A man with lecherous look on his face, his tongue between his teeth and with a large grin, reaches his hand between the curtains of a canopy bed, his other hand raised. Behind him leaning against a coat tossed on a chair is a bed warmer. On the dresser behind him is a bust of a woman with a feathered headdress. On the small chest at the foot of the bed is a basket with a lid
