'On the Pont Neuf', 1771. An encounter between a clog-wearing woman and a soldier on the Pont Neuf in Paris. The soldier's phallic stick, together with the equally phallic fixed bayonet and church spire, leave us in no doubt as to the purpose of the meeting. A defecating dog adds to the 'dirty' mood.
