Elle tire de sa poitrine une eponge toute noire, la couvre de baisers (She draws from her bosom a sponge, perfectly black, and covers it with kisses)

The image shows the upper half of a person standing slightly turned to their left. Their face is partly covered by a dark cloth over their mouth. Only their eyes and forehead are visible. The person's hair is mostly covered by a light-colored draped fabric that extends over their shoulders. They wear a garment with a high neckline featuring intricate designs near the chest area. The background is a textured space with shading and lines, lacking distinct features.
