(La Mauvaise compagnie)
The scene takes place in a tavern. A young man has fallen asleep
with his head in the lap of a girl, who is seated to the right
of the composition, and holds a glass of wine in her right hand.
Another girl has just taken the young man’s watch from his pocket
and is giving it to an old woman, who receives it with evident
glee. On the left a man sits at a table smoking his pipe, and
another is playing the fiddle.
Signed in full in the left bottom corner.
