This time a lazy artist neglects to prepare for the Autumn Salon. He has an idea. He puts a frame around a window and poses his model outside and hopes his near sighted benefactor will like it. Unfortunately the patron criticizes his choice of models and the insulted model leaps through the window to defend herself.Here is a mid twentieth century version of the same idea.
The drawing is titled "Un Chef d'Oeuvre - d'Ingeniosite pour le Salon d'aAutumne" which translates as a masterpiece - ingenuity for the salon of Autumn
