About the Artwork

Voyons! faites attention:

– Que doit on faire lorsqu’on a péché?

– Quand on a pêché? . . . quand on a pêché, tiens! On revient à la Maison Blanche, avec tous les barbillons, dans un panier; et am bonne les mange, avec Landerneau, c’est un grand soldat, qui a des bâtons blancs sur la manche; moi j’en mange assui tiens!

 

Pay attention:

What must one do when one has sinned?

When one goes fishing? When one has been fishing one comes back to the house, with all the fishes in a basket; and my maid eats them with Landerneau who is a great soldier who has white batons in a holder; me, I eat them also.
