Art: "Serenata" - and you thought the chatting dicks were weird...
I don't know if this drawing can beat the (in)famous chatting dicks (see icon or click on "naughty but nice" tag) in terms of weirdness, but artist Achille Deveria certainly tries his best here...!
I still haven't figured out who or what the creepy-looking beings on the left are, but the dick playing the violin just kills me.
The artist, Achille Deveria, was French - see, it was not only the British! His father was working for "La Royale", the French Navy, alas ashore. The "naughty" should be written in capitals in Deveria's case, I just found out that he was the one who made the drawing with the feather and the candle and - well yes, that one.
And I have more of those... be afraid! ;-)
What a century...!
