Tablos […] von Tisiens, Paul Veronese, Jourdans und Corege vohr Honete preise […] hübsche große “Tablau de galerie”, aber keine ***huntzfotische*** heilige, die Sie martern.

Danke schön!

schamlos

Explanation:
Laut meinem Duden (Herkunftswörterbuch) bezieht "hundsföttisch" sich auf das schamlose Verhalten bzw. die Schamlosigkeit einer läufigen Hündin und hat nichts mit gemein, derb oder niederträchtig zu tun.

Hundsfott = Geschlechtsteil der Hündin, wie Anja sagt.
