Jésus! Il vient de me passer une bête...

Französische Grafik 1830–1844, 1842

In the image titled "Les Lorettes," the heads of three women are visible as they are partially submerged in dark water. The women are positioned facing slightly towards each other. Each woman has distinct facial features and long dark hair falling over their shoulders. They appear to be engaged in conversation. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. Their expressions are neutral and their skin tone is even. The background shows a high, steep inclined bank lush with greenery and foliage. Above the bank are various items like light-colored towels and clothing. A solitary, thin tree trunk with sparse branches extends through the bank.
