    Some artists would depict a tiny frog somewhere in their painting when prostitues had been used as models
    No I didn't know that actually... I know grenouilles is specifically 'frogs legs' and is the name for the delicacy. Thanks Heather. You learn something new every day.

    A frog now seems, oh so appropriate now!
