Original comic art made by Pichard for "La religieuse", published for the first time on page 3 by the French publishing house Création Art Presse in 1995. Based on the famous novel "The Nun" by Denis Diderot, it is an anticlerical work inspired by a historical event concerning Marguerite Delamarre, a nun from the Longchamp Abbey, who in 1758 asked to leave the convent where her mother had locked her up because the girl was the daughter of one of her lovers.
