    "'Famille rose' coffee cup and saucer, with a monk molesting a young woman. The scene on this set shows a tonsured monk in a brown monk's habit and sandals, abandoning his bible and rosary to seize a young rustic woman in a tightly laced bodice, long skirt, shawl and mob-cap, who is pushing him away. They are depicted under a tree with a church and a river bank in the background, and only a dog watching." Daqui
