The pleasing inscription "God et Rops sculpsit" means in fact : Madame Godebska and Rops made this record. Madame Godebska (born Sophie Servais, daughter of the Belgian cellist Adrien François Servais) was the wife of the Polish sculptor Cyprien Godebski, the mother of Missia Natanson and a friend of Rops. During an illness, she had to drink a glass of milk every day. To encourage her, Rops sent her a new printer's proof every day, with a new sketch every day.
