Delightful color engraving depicting "le baiser à la Capucine".
In the 18th and 19th centuries, it wasn't fashionable for young, unmarried lovers to kiss in public. On the other hand, moments between friends were conducive to getting closer, as evidenced by a few games, where when couples lost, it was customary to give them a token and sometimes the opportunity to kiss: this is the case of the Capucine kiss, where lovers sit back to back, hold hands and have to kiss each other on the lips using neck gymnastics.
Directoire period, circa 1800.
Good condition.

Engraving dimensions : width 28 - height 22 cm
Frame dimensions: width 39 - height 33.5 cm
