You see a man laughing and holding a glass of wine in this painting. He's sitting at a table with others, but he's the focus. The man's joy is what makes this work interesting - it's a simple moment that says a lot about everyday life. The artist drew this scene in a way that makes you feel like you're there. The details are subtle, but they add to the atmosphere. Check out the work of artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879) for more scenes like this.
This print was published in Le Charivari (November 16, 1848) as plate 4 from the series The Banqueters.
