Fashionable couple running in the rain

Fashionable couple running in the rain. The gallant Mr de Boissec gives his coat and top hat to his lady, and carries her hat in his kerchief and her dog under his arm. An older dandy and young elegant were surprised in the park by a terrible storm. They fled, guarding their faces from the hail with an umbrella. The gentleman, very gallant (this is probably the beginning of the affair) has put his jacket over the shoulders of lady, who also has his hat on her head. He carries her wonderful capote hat in his kerchief, and under his arm her little black dog in red collar with bells. What a fool! The white knight is soaked. He is freezing and grimaces horribly. And the lady, the ingrate, laughs with glee at the adventure! Illustration by Jean-Baptiste Isabey. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangeres Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
