In another scene, two boys, René and Jacquot play doctor with a giggling young girl. Girl seen topless. Jacquot seen nude from both front and rear when undressing. René seen from the rear.
Bellocq decides to photograph her in the nude. Here is where her "coverings" are most evident; she appears to be genuinely nude except for a triangle shaped piece of gauze covering her private parts.
