Annotatie
Rassenfosse's added drawing dialogues with "Ma fille, Monsieur Cabanel!", a satirical print by his friend Félicien Rops. Both works show how a mother presents her daughter to a man out of the picture. In Rops' case, the young girl is allegedly offered as a model to French painter Alexandre Cabanel. Rassenfosse is less ambiguous: although out of frame, the man has already removed his hat and gloves. The girl's sad pose and the raw reality of paid love stand in stark contrast to "Le Joujou", the playful print to which the scene was added. The etching shows a confident actress using a "joujou" - a toy in the shape of a dressed man - to entertain her guests.
