A French man stands in profile to the right in front of his upturned chair, his hand on his protruding belly as if in pain, as an older woman sits at the table refilling his tea cup. A young woman stands behind the woman at the table, smiling behind a fan as she looks at the visitor. An older man sits at the table amused at the French man's distress. A dog drinks from a saucer under the table. The party is in evening dress, the curtains drawn, and a chandelier of four gas lamps hangs over the square tea-table laid with the tea service and tray

Madame excuse me I can take no more.
