Roman poet Catullus reading to his friends.

About this work

This painting shows a group of people in a garden. They're all wearing old-fashioned clothes, like togas. One man is sitting on a bench, reading from a book. The others are standing around him, listening. The scene is set in a garden with trees and bushes. The colors are muted, with lots of greens and browns. The people in the painting look like they're from ancient times. If you want to see more art like this, you might like the work of artist Stefan Bakałowicz.
