Time Out


Time Out
La Petite Reveuse
By Jean-Francois Gilles Colson
18th Century

The Poser

Without a murmur, if you please,
The artist’s palette she’ll appease.

To read the most creative mind,
The child may reflect mankind.

Will we regard, respect or tease?
Or simply utter: “Sit. Say cheese”?

    you'd have to put a lot of "E's" in "cheese" for that portrait.

    'reflect mankind' - she does appear to be doing just that. Nice!
