The work explores the aesthetic and cultural significance of women's breasts, both celebrating their beauty and examining societal norms regarding their visibility and accessibility. Through a playful tone and poetic references, the author delves into what he considers the virtues of this particular aspect of female beauty. The opening of the text introduces the reader to a historical context wherein discussions on human anatomy have taken on a charm and frivolity, linking them to previous works that delight in exploring the body. Mercier explains his intent to focus on women's breasts, drawing attention to their beauty and allure through poetic allusions and anecdotes from other authors. He touches upon societal attitudes towards exposure and touch while presenting a barrage of poetic imagery highlighting the aesthetic appreciation of women's bodies, suggesting that such topics have long captivated artists and poets alike. The author employs humor and clever observations, hinting at both admiration and the often humorous absurdity that surrounds discussions of physical attributes in a thoughtful yet ribald manner.
