You often see caption contests for funny candid pictures, so I thought we should try to caption this painting by Lancret.
It is titled La Sérénade, I will go first. Leave your captions in the comments, or just your thoughts about the piece!
"Armand, please...this is embarrassing!"
"Look dear, I have hired him for an hour, just enjoy the music"
"Ugh!"

ReplyDeleteMy dearest Athenais, Why were you looking at his junk? First of all he's corpulent. Secondly, his hygiene virtually non-existent; and lastly, he obviously took the color caca du dauphin to the extreme. As your Gay Best Friend, I would never allow such a dalliance with such a vile,common,street performer...Allons-y a l'opera!
