Description:
The French caption for this print is untranslated since much of its meaning would be lost in translation. This lithograph is made to resemble a picture in a frame that captures an idyll, or a scene or event of a simple and tranquil nature. Members of parliament are caricatured in these idylls; they are made to seem like angels, without clothes but with small wings instead. In this lithograph, an angel is looking at his own reflection.
