Légende

Shepherd's hour, 1818. (The shepherd's hour is an hour dedicated to sex). Caricature of an unattractive couple. The woman is lying on the bed, looking at herself in a mirror hanging above the bedhead. The man holds pince-nez and wears stockings with windmill design. On the wall a barometer indicates a high temperature, and a painting depicts an erupting volcano.
