Nymph and Satyr.

 

If you're anything like me, and I know that I am, you'll recognise that brushwork and shadings as being the work of  Pierre Cabanel, which means that this painting is almost certainly Nymphe surprise par un satyre (Nymph Surprised by a Satyr), an 1875 work.

Bonus -  Café Lehmitz and the Photographs of Anders Petersen: A Portrait of Hamburg’s Red-Light District.  Features an image you may recognise if you've heard Tom Waits' Rain Dogs.
