Fancy such an one, and you will have before you la Mere Bompart, Pourvoyeuse en chef des celludes du Parc-aux-Cerfs. She was in correspondence with all sorts of persons, with the most celebrated appareilleuses, and of course with the most noted pimps. She treated Lebel as her equal, went familiarly to M. de Sartines and occasionally condescended to visit M. de Saint-Florentin.

Fancy such an one, and you will have before you <la Mere Bompart, Pourvoyeuse en chef des celludes du Parc-aux-Cerfs>. She was in correspondence with all sorts of persons, with the most celebrated <appareilleuses>, and of course with the most noted pimps. She treated Lebel as her equal, went familiarly to M. de Sartines and occasionally condescended to visit M. de Saint-Florentin.

In 1867 at the Laperlier sale the Pourvoyeuse was sold for four thousand and fifty francs to the Louvre, and forty years later the Louvre gave three hundred and fifty thousand francs to Madame Emile Trépard for Le Jeune Homme au Violon and l'Enfant au Toton. Diderot truly prophesied that the hour of reparation would come. He is a master of discreet tonalities and a draughtsman of the first order.
