About this work

This painting shows a crowded room with tall windows letting in soft light. A long table covered in red cloth sits in the middle, where a group of people in fancy clothes are gathered, talking or writing. Around them, more people stand or sit on benches, dressed in old-fashioned outfits with hats and coats. The walls have arched windows and a few paintings hanging up. The room looks like a grand hall, maybe part of a palace or big building. The artist paid close attention to the details of the clothes and the way the light hits the faces and walls. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
