    Well, Your Majesty, we were never asked for something like that in a bathroom remodeling, but we can include the armrests and the cup holder in the toilet.

    Premarital counseling, circa 1850. “After the bride has been helped into her voluminous flannel nightdress and the groom has donned his long cambric nightshirt, they will be escorted to the chambre matrimoniale. The clergyman will say a blessing and the candles will be doused, and the new bride may then begin submitting to her husband.”

    The Completion of the Louvre. The Emperor Approving the Plans Presented by Monsieur Visconti.

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Napol%C3%A9on_III_et_Visconti.JPG

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this huge painting.

    http://www.askart.com/artist/Ange_Tissier/11075626/Ange_Tissier.aspx 

    both have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (the full bio at the 2nd can be read for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. Since he was one of Napoleon III’s official (portrait) painters, French books have more about him 

    https://books.google.com/books?id=aZVxAdQyE-oC&q=Tissier&pg=PA256#v=onepage&q=Tissier&f=false 

    for example; but, unfortunately automatic translation of those isn’t currently available (can’t translate images of text). This is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2163 (March 20, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    “Sir, do you mean to tell this court, and your betrothed, that this artist’s sketch is not an actual representation of yourself caught in a compromising position with the woman in the blue dress, who is at present standing right behind your bride-to-be?”
