The sheet is signed: „A Paris Chez N Arnoult rue de la Fromagerie a l’Image S. Claude aux halles [...]“. (at the store sign with St. Claude at the Halles). According to caption, the pompous lover is abandoned as soon as he runs out of money. A friend of the gambling lady, standing behind his back, helps to speed things up with a mirror. The ladies wear Fontange hairstyles: upswept hair garnished with lace, the introduction of which is attributed to the Duchess of Fontanges, a mistress of Louis XIV.
The white margins slightly soiled, remains of paper tape in the corners of the back, otherwise very good conservation.
