- Abstract
-
"Men and women are grouped irregularly at a table laid with dessert. A young military officer presses with his foot the toe of a vis-à-vis, making an elderly woman scream, while the young woman next her looks consciously unconscious. A gouty old man has been trampled on, he tilts back his chair, raising a swathed leg. Two elderly women (left) sitting together watch the incident with indignation. A fat man is placidly amused, a thin one looks sour. A tiny clipped poodle barks."--British Museum online catalogue
